Slavery Today

Modern slavery involves situations where individuals are forced, coerced, or deceived into working against their will, under threats or exploitation. This includes human trafficking, forced labor, debt bondage, and involuntary domestic servitude. Despite laws banning slavery, it persists globally, often hidden within supply chains or illegal markets. Victims may be kept in conditions akin to slavery through violence, manipulation, or economic control, denying them personal freedom and basic rights. Addressing modern slavery requires awareness, strong enforcement of laws, and efforts to identify and support victims.
