No one shall be held in slavery or servitude: slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms.
Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights

Slavery was the first human rights issue to arouse wide international concern. Yet, in the face of universal condemnation, slavery-like practices remain a grave and persistent problem. In what is sure to be an eye-opening presentation, the various types of modern day slavery will be explored including:

• Bonded labour


• Forced labour


• Child labour


• Children in armed conflict


• Commercial sexual exploitation of children


• Trafficking


• Early and forced marriage


• Traditional or 'chattel' slavery
