Modern slavery involves the exploitation of people through the use of violence, intimidation, deception or coercion. It takes many forms including sexual exploitation, forced labour, participation in criminal activity, domestic servitude, forced marriage and fraud.
Victims are often trafficked across borders or within a single country or community and often face more than one form of exploitation.
It is frequently hidden from sight and to the outside world workers and businesses may appear legitimate. However, behind the scenes lives are being destroyed, communities damaged and criminals or organised crime gangs are making financial profit with no concern for human rights or the suffering and misery inflicted.
