Modern slavery takes several forms and affects millions of people worldwide. It involves humans being classified as property and forced to work against their will through threats of punishment. Common forms of modern slavery include forced labor, bonded labor, human trafficking for purposes like forced prostitution, forced marriage, and forced organ removal. While definitions and methods have evolved, slavery violates the fundamental principle of equal justice under law. It remains a persistent global problem, with the ILO estimating millions of children and others remain in slavery today.
