WHAT IS SLAVERY?

What is slavery?

When a person is “forced to work under physical or mental threat, and where the owner or employer controls the person completely – where a person is bought or sold. It includes restrictions on freedom of movement, no pay or very little and no say over hours, holidays and rest.”

3 Types of Slavery

Chattel Slavery

Debt Bondage Slavery

Sex Slavery

Chattel Slavery

When one person is completely owned by another and can be inherited as property.

Traditional type of slavery used when Africans were enslaved.

The most known form of chattel slavery in today’s world comes from wartime in certain countries.

Countries experiencing troubled times result in militia and raider attacking villages and then kidnapping and enslaving children and women.

Debt Bondage Slavery

A person enters debt bondage when their labor is demanded as a means of repayment of a loan, or of money given in advance.

Debt bondage keeps society’s lowest classes in debt to their masters.

Bonded laborers must work for however long the master says and must ask permission for their every move.

These people are paying off debts of $10-$50 but the interests are than they can pay and therefore are passed down throughout their generation.

Sex Slavery

The majority of people in the sex slavery industry are abducted.

Mostly women and children are kidnapped and forced into the harsh conditions of prostitution.

What Should Be Done? Increase public awareness

Support groups that work to end modern day slavery

Give money to support local organizations that help slaves escape or walk away from slavery.

Quote “…What good is our economic and

political power, if we can’t use it to free slaves? If we can’t choose to stop slavery, how can we say that we are free?”
