Modern Slavery

Introduction

1.1 Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It takes various forms, such as slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour and human trafficking, all of which have in common the deprivation of a person's liberty by another to exploit them for personal or commercial gain. The term Modern Slavery captures a whole range of types of exploitation, many of which occur together. Someone is in slavery if they are:

• Forced to work – through mental or physical threat
• Owner or controlled by an ‘employer’, usually through mental or physical abuse or the threat of abuse
• Dehumanised, treated as a commodity or bought and sold as ‘property’
• Physically constrained or has restrictions placed on his / her freedom of movement
