Hello,

My name is Olga and I am a law student at the Bloomsbury College of Law. My areas of interest are International Human Rights laws, especially abuse of women, whether this be through trafficking, exploitation or modern day slaver.

Millions of men, women and children around the world are forced to lead lives as slaves. Although this exploitation is often not called slavery, the conditions are the same. People are sold like objects, forced to work for little or no pay and are at the mercy of their 'employers'.

Types of slavery, existing today are-

Bonded labour affects millions of people around the world. People become bonded labourers by taking or being tricked into taking a loan for as little as the cost of medicine for a sick child. To repay the debt, many are forced to work long hours, seven days a week, up to 365 days a year. They receive basic food and shelter as 'payment' for their work, but may never pay off the loan, which can be passed down for generations.

Early and forced marriage affects women and girls who are married without choice and are forced into lives of servitude often accompanied by physical violence.

Forced labour affects people who are illegally recruited by individuals, governments or political parties and forced to work -- usually under threat of violence or other penalties.

Slavery by descent is where people are either born into a slave class or are from a 'group' that society views as suited to being used as slave labour.

Trafficking involves the transport and/or trade of people -- women, children and men -- from one area to another for the purpose of forcing them into slavery conditions.

Worst forms of child labour affects an estimated 126 million** children around the world in work that is harmful to their health and welfare.

After looking into these horrific crimes, I have become very passionate about making a positive difference to the lives of so many women affected by such exploitation and servitude.

 

As a woman myself, I want to give my bit to those exploited and degraded young survivors so they could have a second chance for getting the life back.This is why every little support given by you will be highly appreciated and valued, one drop of water seem to be nothing, but a lot of it make an ocean.

Thank you!
