Enforced Labour and Human Trafficking Laws

Enforced labor and human trafficking laws aim to protect workers, particularly in maritime industries, from exploitation. These laws prohibit forcing individuals to work against their will, often under threats or deceit. In the maritime context, they ensure that crew members are treated fairly, receive proper wages, and have safe working conditions. International regulations, like the Maritime Labour Convention, set standards for treatment and rights of seafarers, aiming to prevent abuse and promote decent work. Enforcement is crucial to hold businesses accountable and protect vulnerable workers from exploitation on ships.
