Globalization of Slavery in Modern World

The population explosion and the economic changes as slaves are forced to migrate from the countryside to shanty towns, they are a pool of slaves. Of course, overpopulation, and poverty alone don't lead to slavery, but if police and government are corrupt (which go along with political and social) there are laws against kidnap and slavery are not enforced because the law enforcement is paid good money to have a blind eye so that slaves can be harvested. You see economic is a big part of slavery globalization because let’s face the fact no one EVER is satisfied with how much with their salary no matter they are make 2 million or if they make 100,000 a year because we as humans are not satisfied or in a debit and just need more money.

Which is why money talks and it is easy to lower people into a trap. Bales talks about a story of Thai women coming to North America for factory work “In late 1995 sixty-eight Thais, most of them women, were rescued from a sweatshop garment factory in Los Angeles. Most ofthese women were in fact garment workers in Thailand and had paid agents for the possibility of good jobs in the United States. When they arrived their passports were taken away and they were placed in debt bondage. Forced to live within a locked factory compound, they worked sixteen-hour days under armed guard. Told they must repay debts of around $5,000, they were paid just over $10 per day from which the cost of their food was deducted. ”

In other words this means they will never be able to pay off their debts because the employers control everything. And this so called tab is sometimes passed on to children after the parents die, and in some cultures passed down for generations. Steel is one of Brazil's biggest exports to Europe and North America, steel is made from iron ore and slave-produced charcoal. Across western Brazil, forests are being cleared and burned to make charcoal. Trapped in the charcoal camps are thousands of slaves recruited from poor and inopportunity towns. One of the fastest growing forms of slavery is human trafficking. Traffickers prey on people in impoverished areas who are excluded from opportunities or don’t have much and like I said before are desperate to do anything to get money for them and their family. They promise well-paid work, education, and training. Desperate to improve their lives, people are lured, tricked or coerced away from their homes into terrible conditions. Slave’s equal profits and violence is used to make sure that the profits don’t stop coming. Forced prostitution of kidnapped or deceived women is really another form of forced labor and it is a social issue but it can have a huge psychological effect due to what they go through on a daily basis.

With the added reality that a young girl’s future like her marriage, her family and her happiness. They are promised legitimate work with good pay, for example as domestic workers or waitresses. But once in the destination country, their documents, identities, and money are seized, their passports sometimes showing up on the black market. “It is not about owning people in the traditional sense of the old slavery, but about controlling them completely. People become completely disposable tools for making money. ” Slave’s equal profits and violence and death threats (either against the victim or the family back home), is used to obtain the cooperation of sex workers through fear which makes sure that the profits don’t stop coming. Sometimes forced drug use, involuntary abortions, confinement and even starvation. Some see suicide as the only way out of their misery.

When their usefulness becomes useless because of age or disease (AIDS are most common), they are disposed of—thrown out they are left in a worse condition then they were bought in. Some employers have been known to murder them. If they “CAN” return home, they are often sick or pregnant. Socially shamed, they face by the community. Sometimes their own parents wouldn’t expect them back to the home because of the life that have lived as prostitution. It would be hard for them to find someone that would marry them, and without employment or education, they have little hope in life. Leela’s is a woman who was taken from India to the United Kingdom with promises of well-paid work as a domestic servant. When she arrived everything was quite different, then was told to her. She was demanded to work from 6. 30am to 11. 30pm every day, with only one hour off each week. She was forced to sleep on the kitchen floor and her ‘employers’ locked her in the house when they went out. They took her passport, telling her that if she left her job, she would be deported back to India. Even thoughshe was promised £150 per week, she received nothing.
