Modern day slavery

Modern day slavery means people are forced to work without pay or against their will, just like slaves were in the past. This can happen today in many different ways. Sometimes people are tricked into going to work for someone else, but then they find out they can't leave and are forced to work for little or no pay. Other times, people are kidnapped or taken from their homes and forced to work for someone else.

Some people are forced into slavery because they are in debt and can't pay off what they owe. They are made to work long hours and are not allowed to leave until their debt is paid off. This can take years or even decades. Others may be sold into slavery by others.

Modern day slavery is a terrible thing that happens all over the world. It is illegal in most countries, but it still happens because some people don't follow the rules. It is important for everyone to know that modern day slavery is wrong and to help stop it whenever possible.
