Modern Slavery is the slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour and human trafficking of individuals through the use of coercion, deception, force or other means. This inhumane crime disproportionately affects vulnerable populations, ranging from young children to the elderly.
The consequences of modern slavery are immensely devastating to their victims, who are often unable or unwilling to speak out about the trauma they are facing or have faced in the past.
