What is Forced Labor?
People are force to work due to the use of violence or intimidation, or accumulated debt.
Types of Forced Labor
The following are types of forced labor: slavery, prison labor, military labor, bond labor, farm and debt bondage, human trafficking, and compulsory work.
Bond Labor
Bond labor is a person's pledge of their labor or services as repayment for a debt or other obligation. The services to repay the debt may not be told to you, and the duration of the labor may not be told to you.
Farm and Debt Bondage
Men, women, children as young as 5 or 6 have to harvest crops, raise animals in fields, packing plants, orchards and nurseries.
Human Trafficking
Human trafficking involves men, women, or children into different forms of labor, such as forced begging, forced criminality, domestic servitude, forced marriage, and forced organ removal.
Why is this Bad ?
Forced labor is a terrible thing because it is someone being forced to do something in fear of some form of punishment. It takes away many peoples lives as young as 5 years old. You get paid terribly and whatever you do you seem to go into more debt which puts you into more years of forced labor.
What We Need To Do
There are many ways to help tackle modern slavery, from donating online to running a marathon. You can set up a campaigning group or go into the senate or house of representative to go into these problems that nobody seems to even care about. Don't wait, go help out now and save a life from forced labor
