The book "Globalization of Forced Labour: An Expanding World" sheds light on this pressing issue, delving into the complex dynamics that drive forced labour and its devastating consequences for millions worldwide.

Unveiling the Hidden Epidemic

Forced labour is a global scourge, affecting an estimated 25 million people worldwide. It permeates various industries, including agriculture, manufacturing, construction, mining, and domestic work. Victims often find themselves trapped in cycles of exploitation, unable to escape due to fear, coercion, or debt.

The book meticulously documents the different forms of forced labour, from traditional bonded labour in agriculture to the hidden exploitation within global supply chains. It exposes the tactics used by unscrupulous employers to enslave workers, including physical violence, psychological manipulation, and the threat of deportation.

The Globalization of Exploitation

Globalization has played a significant role in the expansion of forced labour. The interconnectedness of global supply chains has created opportunities for companies to outsource production to countries with lower labour costs and weaker labour laws. This has led to a shift in production towards regions with high levels of poverty and vulnerability, where workers are more easily exploited.

The book examines the role of multinational corporations and international trade agreements in perpetuating forced labour. It exposes the shortcomings of current regulatory frameworks and enforcement mechanisms, highlighting the need for stronger protections for workers and accountability within global supply chains.

Child Labour: A Hidden Atrocity

Child labour is a particularly insidious form of forced labour that affects millions of children worldwide. Children are often forced to work in dangerous and exploitative conditions, deprived of their basic rights and the opportunity for education.

The book explores the specific vulnerabilities of children to forced labour and the devastating consequences it has on their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It calls for urgent action to eliminate child labour and ensure that all children have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
