"Hunger is an inevitable consequence of poverty. Hunger is the most grotesque example of inequity in the world. DCA is fighting hunger with all of the means we have, both in the short and longer term."

Fighting modern slavery in Cambodia

Volunteers at Roskilde Festival 2005

In 2006, the humanitarian focus at Roskilde Festival was modern slavery under the slogan "Act against slavery".

Approx. 27 million people are victims of modern slavery. These people live and work under inhuman conditions, and they are often exposed to both mental and physical violence as well as sexual attacks.

More than 600 people volunteered for DanChurchAid collecting empty bottles and cans during the festival to support the fight against modern slavery in Cambodia.
