Example
Modern slavery thrives in environments where vulnerable populations lack legal protections, economic opportunities, or social support networks.
Efforts to combat modern slavery include raising awareness, strengthening legislation, and providing support services for survivors.
Victims of modern slavery may be subjected to forced labor, where they are coerced to work under threat or deception, or they may be trafficked for purposes such as sexual exploitation or forced marriage.
