Modern Slavery

Modern slavery is a term used to describe situations in which individuals are forced to work or provide services under conditions that are exploitative and abusive. Modern slavery can take many different forms, such as human trafficking, forced labor, debt bondage, or forced marriage. Victims of modern slavery are often deprived of their freedom and are unable to leave their situation due to threats, violence, or other forms of coercion. Modern slavery is a global problem and affects people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds. It is condemned by international law and is a violation of human rights.
