Travail forcé

Travail forcé, or forced labor, refers to situations where individuals are compelled to work against their will, often through threats, coercion, or because they owe debt. It can include involuntary domestic work, factory labor, or even trafficking, where workers have little to no freedom to leave and are often subjected to poor conditions. This practice violates basic human rights and is considered a serious crime under international law. Understanding and addressing forced labor involves recognizing its presence in various industries and advocating for fair, voluntary employment conditions worldwide.
