Petition Action

Extra resources should be allocated to reducing all forms of modern day ‘slavery’ (like employing cheap immigrant labour, people trafficking)

Additional Information

'Slavery' occurs all the time, even today but by a different name. Even in marriage and employment, 'slavery' does occur today. HMG should take seriously modern day ‘slavery’, like child slavery, people trafficking for sex/employment, abusive marriage partner or employer, bullying, humiliation in media/cyberspace, etc. I would define ‘slavery’ as most forms of racism, discrimination, exploitation of labour (economic or otherwise), bullying, blackmailing, caste/social class system, deception, abuse, physical aggression, humiliation, unjustified domination of one party over another, imposing one's will over another and forcing a person to perform acts/labour he/she does not will wish or consented to do. Slavery in the Victorian age occurs even for whites in Victorian Britain, not only slavery of blacks in America & other groups in other parts of the world.
