Orphanage Tourism and Modern Slavery

ABC News

In this interview with ABC News, Kate van Doore talks about the trafficking and exploitation of children in overseas orphanages and how volunteering in and funding orphanages contributes to negative outcomes for children. This interview preceded her testimony to the Australian Government Inquiry on establishing a Modern Slavery Act. 

"We know from the research that children growing up in institutional care - no matter how good an orphanage might be - 1 in 3 will experience homelessness, 1 in 5 will gain a criminal record, and 1 in 10 will commit suicide." - Kate van Doore, interview with ABC News
