Title: Modern Day Slavery


1
Modern Day Slavery
  • By Matt Welsh
  • Foreign Policy

2
Background Info
  • Modern Day Slavery is not like the traditional
    form of slavery.
  • It is in every country in the world in some shape
    or form.

3
3 Types of Slavery
  • Chattel Slavery
  • Debt Bondage Slavery
  • Sex Slavery

4
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.

5
Chattel Slavery
  • Isnt very big anymore because slavery is now
    illegal in all countries and ownership isnt
    needed to be a slave.
  • People can force someone to work without pay with
    violence or psychological manipulation.

6
Chattel Slavery
  • The most known form of chattel slavery in todays
    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.

7
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 societys lowest classes in
    debt to their masters.

8
Debt Bondage Slavery
  • 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.

9
Sex Slavery
  • Sexual slavery is a special case of slavery which
    includes various different practices
  • 1. Forced prostitution
  • 2. Single-owner sex slavery
  • 3. slavery for primarily non-sexual purposes
    where sex is common or permissible

10
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.

11
IEARN Response
  • The modern slavery is an absurd, because many
    laws say that everyone is equal onto the law
    and it is irrational because the humans were born
    to be free and do what they want but they cant
    take away the freedom of other person. -- Brazil

12
IEARN Response
  • I think that we dont have anything like child
    labour and dept bondage, but sex slavery is
    impossible avoid. Of course we are not happy
    about it. Probably its also exploitation, that
    cheap workers from the east are fetched to do
    unpopular work for less money than our own
    workers. We all think really baldy about slavery
    and dept bondage but we couldnt really imagine
    how it is, because we think its not the problem
    in our own country. We think, that sex tourism is
    a bigger problem and we think that it should be
    stopped. --- Brazil

13
Current Status
  • 27 million men, women and children currently live
    in slavery around the world.
  • 500,000 children have been forced into
    prostitution in Brazil
  • forced marriages
  • Debt bonded labor accounts for some 20 million
    victims
  • human trafficking victims in the U.S. runs as
    high as 50,000
  • The average price for a slave is 90 but varies.

14
What should be done?
  • No boycotts, honor slave-free certifications, be
    alert to news of other certifications, look for
    products with Fair Trade certifications, look for
    products with organic, local or union labels and
    avoid companies known to drive prices as low as
    possible.

Other Solutions
  • The U.S. should take the first steps in fighting
    against slavery.
  • Increase public awareness
  • Support groups that work to end modern day
    slavery
  • Ask state representatives/senators to pass
    anti-trafficking laws
  • Understand the link between human trafficking and
    commercial, sexual exploitation
  • 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 cant use it to free slaves? If we cant
    choose to stop slavery, how can we say that we
    are free?
