Study Notes

Forms of Forced Labour

  • Human Trafficking involves recruiting, transporting, transferring, harbouring, or receiving individuals through coercion, abduction, fraud, deception, or abuse of power for the purpose of exploitation.
  • Debt Bondage is a form of modern slavery where individuals are forced to work to repay a debt under terms that are not clearly defined or practically impossible to meet, with the value of their labour often exceeding the original sum of money borrowed.
  • Domestic Servitude often occurs in private households, characterized by extreme isolation from the community, language barriers, and dependency, making foreign domestic workers particularly susceptible to forced labour practices.

Forced Labour and Vulnerable Groups

  • Forced Child Labour involves situations where minors are compelled to work, exploiting their vulnerability, and includes any form of work that is unsuitable for their age or developmental stage, hindering their ability to attend school.
  • Sexual Exploitation involves forcing someone into commercial sex through force, fraud, or coercion, or causing a child to do so, requiring "acts", "means", and "purpose", though the "means" is not needed for child victims.

State-Imposed Forced Labour

  • State-imposed forced labour refers to various forms of forced labour enforced by state authorities, agents acting on behalf of state authorities, or organizations wielding similar authority.
  • Compulsory prison labour is a category of state-imposed forced labour, where inmates are made to work in harsh conditions without adequate compensation.

This quiz explores the different forms of forced labour, including human trafficking and debt bondage, and their common characteristics of exploitation through coercion, deception, or violence.
