Correct Answer : Australia
Australia has taken a significant step in combating modern slavery by appointing Chris Evans, a former senator and human rights official, as its first Anti-Slavery Commissioner.
Evans will serve a five-year term starting in December, focusing on preventing and responding to modern slavery across government, business, and society.
This move aligns with Australia's efforts to address the estimated 41,000 people living in modern slavery within its borders and nearly 50 million globally.
The appointment has been welcomed by civil society groups, who urge the government to provide adequate funding and powers to the Commissioner's office to effectively tackle modern slavery.
