INTRODUCTION

Forced labour is an important aspect of modern day slavery. The term ‘forced labour’ describes
work or services that a person is forced to do against their will or under the threat of punishment.
Forced labour primarily contravenes national labour laws and international labour standards set
out by the ILO. However, in some circumstances, it can also be viewed as a human rights
violation. It is an inherent part of many forms of modern slavery, such as THB or bonded labour.
In this section you will consider three different examples of forced labour being a part of slavery-
like practices. The examples refer to three different situations:
 bonded labour (also known as debt bondage), which entails the imposition of forced labour
on one individual by another person
 forced labour imposed by businesses, in order to produce or obtain certain products (e.g.
cotton and cocoa)
. Bonded labour (also known as debt bondage) is one of the most widely used methods of
enslavement. It continues to exist despite being outlawed by the United Nations Supplementary
Convention on the Abolition of Slavery, the Slave Trade, and Institutions and Practices Similar
to Slavery (1956).
A person becomes a bonded labourer when they are forced to work in order to repay loans.
Bonded labourers work long hours every day for little or no payment. They are often forced to
carry out heavy-duty tasks, e.g. working in brick kilns.
