Human Trafficking & Slavery

So much of our daily lives are connected to the experiences of the exploitation of our fellow human beings. Our clothing, electronics, home decor, and food, to name a few, are more likely than not, to have had someone in forced labour contribute to its production before it reaches our lives. Although there is much academic and activist debate regarding the definitions of human trafficking and slavery, the fact remains true that we have a society which is built up on the labor of people who are either underpaid or not paid, and who experience violence, and the loss of civil and human rights in the process.
