Debt Slavery

Debt servitude is a form of slavery in which a person is forced to work to pay off a debt. This practice, which is also known as debt bondage or bonded labor, is illegal in most countries. It often involves the use of violence or threats of violence to coerce the person into working to pay off the debt, and it often involves working in conditions that are unsafe or inhumane. Some people who are trapped in debt servitude may be unable to escape even after they have paid off the debt, as they may be forced to continue working to pay off additional debts or interest. The International Labour Organization (ILO) estimates that there are currently around 25 million people around the world who are trapped in debt servitude.
