Selv om slaveriet officielt blev afskaffet for 50 år siden, eksisterer det stadigvæk i forskellige former. Mennesker sælges og købes som varer, sættes i arbejde under tvang, praktisk talt uden betaling og begrænset i deres bevægelsesfrihed.
Although slavery was officially abolished fifty years ago, it continues to exist in all kinds of forms: people are trafficked and sold like commodities, are employed in forced labour, receive very little pay and are restrained in their freedom of movement.
