Almost 50 million victims of modern slavery worldwide© ANP
GENÈVE (ANP) – The number of people who are victims of modern slavery has increased in five years. 49.6 million people were engaged in forced labour or were trapped in a forced marriage, the International Labour Organisation (ILO), the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) and human rights organisation Walk Free report on the basis of their own estimates. That is 10 million more victims than in 2016.
Under modern slavery, the two UN organisations and Walk Free include forced labour as well as forced marriage because people cannot voluntarily escape it due to coercion, threat or abuse of power. Between 2016 and 2021, the number of people forced into forced labour increased by 2.7 million to a total of 27.6 million. An estimated 3.3 million of them are children, more than half of whom are forced to work in the sex industry.
The number of people in forced marriages increased by 6.6 million over the same period to a total of 22 million. Two thirds of them are women. People who are involuntarily married are at greater risk of sexual exploitation, domestic violence or forced labour inside or outside the home, say the researchers.
Coronapandemic
As an explanation for the increase, the organisations point to the corona pandemic. This caused many people to lose their income. This may have led to more debt bondage, where people are forced to work until they have paid off a debt. The virus outbreak also pushed more people into extreme poverty, increasing the risk of exploitation. Forced marriages are also common in families that are very poor.
Despite this link to poverty, modern slavery is still common in richer countries and the very richest. According to ILO, IOM and Walk Free, about half of all cases occur in these parts of the world, for example in agriculture, domestic work, the sex industry or fishing. Migrants in particular are at risk of exploitation in these countries. In addition, slavery occurs among suppliers to companies in these rich countries, for example in the extraction of raw materials.
The organisations base their findings on anonymised data on human trafficking, 68 surveys on forced labour and 75 surveys on forced marriage. They call on governments to better equip their inspection services to combat slavery. The social safety net in many countries should also be expanded to prevent extreme poverty. These rights should also apply to migrants. In order to combat forced marriages, the organisations suggest an age limit of 18 years for getting married and a total ban on marrying people off against their will.

Wereldwijd bijna 50 miljoen slachtoffers van moderne slavernij© ANP
GENÈVE (ANP) – Het aantal mensen dat slachtoffer is van moderne slavernij is in vijf jaar tijd toegenomen. 49,6 miljoen mensen verrichtten dwangarbeid of zaten vast in een gedwongen huwelijk, melden de Internationale Arbeidsorganisatie (ILO), de Internationale Organisatie voor Migratie (IOM) en mensenrechtenorganisatie Walk Free op basis van eigen ramingen. Dat zijn 10 miljoen meer slachtoffers dan in 2016.
Onder moderne slavernij scharen de twee VN-organisaties en Walk Free zowel gedwongen arbeid als gedwongen huwelijken omdat mensen hier door dwang, dreiging of machtsmisbruik niet vrijwillig aan kunnen ontsnappen. Tussen 2016 en 2021 steeg het aantal mensen dat dwangarbeid moet verrichten met 2,7 miljoen tot een totaal van 27,6 miljoen. Naar schatting 3,3 miljoen van hen zijn kind, van wie meer dan de helft gedwongen werkt in de seksindustrie.
Het aantal mensen in een gedwongen huwelijk steeg in dezelfde periode met 6,6 miljoen tot een totaal van 22 miljoen. Twee derde van hen is vrouw. Mensen die onvrijwillig zijn getrouwd lopen groter gevaar op seksuele uitbuiting, huiselijk geweld of dwangarbeid binnenshuis of daarbuiten, stellen de onderzoekers.
Coronapandemie
Als verklaring voor de toename wijzen de organisaties naar de coronapandemie. Die zorgde ervoor dat veel mensen hun inkomsten zagen wegvallen. Dat leidde mogelijk tot meer schuldslavernij, waarbij mensen dwangarbeid moeten verrichten totdat ze een schuld hebben afbetaald. Door de virusuitbraak vervielen bovendien meer mensen in extreme armoede, wat het risico op uitbuiting vergroot. Ook gedwongen huwelijken komen vaak voor bij families die erg arm zijn.
Ondanks die link met armoede komt moderne slavernij nog vaak voor in rijkere landen en de allerrijkste landen. Ongeveer de helft van alle gevallen doen zich volgens ILO, IOM en Walk Free voor in die delen van de wereld, bijvoorbeeld in de landbouw, huishoudelijk werk, de seksindustrie of de visserij. Vooral migranten lopen in deze landen het risico slachtoffer te worden van uitbuiting. Daarnaast komt slavernij voor bij toeleveranciers aan bedrijven in die rijke landen, bijvoorbeeld bij het delven van grondstoffen.
De organisaties baseren zich voor hun bevindingen op geanonimiseerde gegevens over mensenhandel, 68 enquêtes over gedwongen arbeid en 75 enquêtes over gedwongen huwelijken. Ze roepen overheden op om hun inspectiediensten beter uit te rusten voor de strijd tegen slavernij. Ook zou het sociaal vangnet in veel landen moeten worden uitgebreid om extreme armoede te voorkomen. Die rechten zouden dan ook moeten gelden voor migranten. Om gedwongen huwelijken tegen te gaan, opperen de organisaties een leeftijdsgrens van 18 jaar om te mogen trouwen en een algeheel verbod op het huwen van mensen tegen hun wil in.

When deception occurs – being fooled as in a candid camera – this is the lever, the means to disrupt a justice system and cause a crazy verdict that shatters a person’s life from one moment to the next, without reason, cause or trigger.

Wanneer er haperingen ontstaan door misleiding – gefopt worden zoals in een candid camera – dit is de hefboom, het middel om een justitie systeem te ontwrichten en tot een gek vonnis te veroorzaken die het leven van een mens van het ene moment op het andere verbrijzelt, zonder reden, aanleiding of oorzaak.
