Modern slavery has many forms to it, some of which are human trafficking, servitude and forced labour. Normally coercion including threats, and use of force will be used in order for the victim to complete the acts, against their will. Generally young individuals as well as older vulnerable people are targeted, but that does not rule out any other nationality. Individuals are also sexually exploited and forced into prostitution and children are forced into completing child pornography videos.
Key Takeaways:
- Modern slavery is not always sexual, and it is usually hidden and always exploitative.
- Human trafficking can involve prostitution as the end game. However, it can also be to provide compulsory labor.
- Most always there is an element of deception and coercion involved in the process.
