MODERN
SLAVERY
40.3 million people are estimated to be trapped in some form of modern slavery in the world today.

Modern slavery describes slavery and slavery-like practices including forced labour, child labour and human trafficking.
At the core of this crime is deception. Victims of modern slavery are often vulnerable, coming from areas where there is little possibility of work. They are offered a job, a chance to make money and to build a new life for themselves.
