Forced labor. Any work or services people are forced to do against their will, usually under
threat of punishment.
Debt bondage/bonded labor. The world’s most widespread form of slavery. People trappedin poverty borrow money and are forced to work to pay off the debt, losing control over boththeir employment conditions and the debt.
Descent–based slavery (where people are born into slavery). A very old form of slavery,
where people are treated as property, and their “slave” status has been passed down thematernal line.
Child slavery. When a child is exploited for someone else’s gain. This can include childtrafficking, child soldiers, child marriage, and child domestic slavery.
