Contemporary forms of slavery fact sheet no. 14
Contemporary Forms of Slavery: Fact Sheet No. 14 addresses modern practices that amount to slavery, including forced labor, child labor, trafficking in persons, debt bondage, and servile marriage. It explains the international legal standards prohibiting such practices, particularly conventions under the United Nations and the International Labour Organization. The fact sheet highlights the obligations of states to prevent, criminalize, and eliminate slavery-like practices, as well as to protect and rehabilitate victims. It also notes the role of UN mechanisms, such as the Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of slavery, in monitoring and promoting compliance. Serving as a concise guide, this resource is intended for policymakers, practitioners, and advocates committed to eradicating exploitation and safeguarding human dignity.
