    Modern Day Slavery: A Culminating Research Project

    You have just finished reading Frederick Douglass’s novel The Narrative of the Life
    of Frederick Douglass, A Slave. He endured hardships unimaginable to many of us,
    today. Often times, when people think of slavery, they think that it ended in 1865.
    This, however, couldn’t be further from the truth. Slavery still exists, in various
    forms, in the 21st century. These include:

    Forms of modern slavery


    1. Forced labor – any work or services which people are forced to do against their will under the threat of
    some form of punishment.
    2. Debt bondage or bonded labor – the world’s most widespread form of slavery, when people borrow
    money they cannot repay and are required to work to pay off the debt, then losing control over the
    conditions of both their employment and the debt.
    3. Human trafficking– involves transporting, recruiting or harboring people for the purpose of exploitation,
    using violence, threats or coercion.
    4. Descent-based slavery – where people are born into slavery because their ancestors
    were captured and enslaved; they remain in slavery by descent.
    5. Child slavery – many people often confuse child slavery with child labor, but it is much
    worse. Whilst child labor is harmful for children and hinders their education and
    development, child slavery occurs when a child is exploited for someone else’s gain. It
    can include child trafficking, child soldiers, child marriage and child domestic slavery.
    6. Forced and early marriage – when someone is married against their will and cannot leave the marriage.
    Most child marriages can be considered slavery.
    7. Sex slavery - When an adult engages in a commercial sex act, such as prostitution, as the result of force,
    threats of force, fraud, coercion or any combination of such means, that person is a victim of trafficking.
