Slavery

We like to think that slavery was vanquished over 100 years ago, but it lives on, disguised.

• People work in the third world in dangerous, painful conditions for less than subsistence wages to make clothing and gadgets for the first world.
• Sex trade workers, including children, are kept captive, forced to serve large numbers of men each day, for no pay, just subsistence.
• Hockey players are bought, sold and traded between teams like cattle. They have to pull up stakes on a moment’s notice and move thousands of miles away.
• Agricultural workers are paid below the minimum wage.
