Insights From Rotary Peace Fellow Kate Kimmer

Kate Kimmer, who is currently undergoing her Peace Fellow studies in Japan, and undertaking her field work activity in Canberra, provided an insightful look into the focus of her studies and field work, being the policy management around people trafficking.  Kate briefly outlined her Rotary pedigree, having done Youth Exchange in both Thailand and Brazil, which have had a significant impact on her life.  She highlighted that the problem is not a minor or remote one, with 29.8 million people understood to be in slavery today around the world, and 3,000 or so (probably under-reported) here in Australia.  Kate gave an insight into her field work with the Freedom Partnership - see more at http://endslavery.salvos.org.au/.
