Hearts for Humanity – Gems of Giving: A Gala Night to End Modern Slavery

About the event

Join us for “Hearts for Humanity – Gems of Giving: A Gala Night to End Modern Slavery” a prestigious gala ball held in the heart of Sydney, aimed at raising funds to support the survivors of modern slavery in Australia.

This night unites passionate individuals, local charities and organisations committed to ending modern slavery and empowering survivors.

Throughout the night, attendees will be treated to a sumptuous meal, amazing live entertainment and the opportunity to participate in an exclusive charity auction. Most importantly, we will hear from distinguished speakers, who will share their insights, experiences, and strategies in combating modern slavery impacting approx. 41,000 people in Australia and the estimated 49 million across the globe.

Hosting the evening on behalf of Freedom for Humanity, Shani Taylor will be your MC. Shani has just returned from the UK after winning Global Coach of The Year in the Women Changing the World Awards & has shared the stage with A-List celebrities such as Vince Vaughn, Tommy Hilfiger and Canadian Ice Hockey pro Wayne Gretzky.

She’ll introduce us to some incredible guests who will share their advocation for ending modern slavery.

Lorraine Finlay; Human Rights Commissioner at the Australian Human Rights Commission

Jim Keyes; founder of the Education Is Freedom Foundation, ex CEO 7-Eleven Inc. & Blockbuster Inc.

Reverend Carmel; Minister of the Uniting Church working closely with survivors & first responders who protect women from human-trafficking and exploitation

Funds raised for the Freedom for Humanity Scholarship Program will help survivors of modern slavery in Australia towards their final steps of recovery, through education and training, giving them the independence and freedom most of us take for granted!  The scholarship program will support selected applicants who are survivors of modern slavery referred by organisations that support them, like The Salvation Army’s Safe House program.

By attending you will not only enjoy an unforgettable evening but also contribute to a brighter future for those who have been impacted by modern slavery. Taking action together – to end modern slavery.
