Agricultural Slavery

Agricultural slavery refers to a situation where individuals are forced to work on farms under coercion, with little or no freedom, often through threats, violence, or debt. These workers have their movements restricted and lack the ability to leave or negotiate fair pay, resembling historic slavery but often disguised within economic or legal systems. It persists in some regions due to exploitation, corruption, and weak enforcement of labor laws, contributing to human rights violations. Understanding this helps highlight ongoing issues of exploitation in agriculture and the importance of legal protections for workers.
