modern slavery

Modern slavery refers to situations where individuals are controlled or coerced into working against their will through force, threats, deception, or manipulation. It includes practices like human trafficking, forced labor, debt bondage, and involuntary domestic work. Victims often cannot leave freely and lack basic rights, despite laws banning such exploitation. Modern slavery persists worldwide due to factors like poverty, corruption, and lack of awareness. Addressing it requires legal action, victim support, and efforts to eliminate vulnerable conditions that enable such exploitation to thrive.
