Detailed explanation-1: -Trafficking for forced labour has been a painful reality for African societies for decades1. Men, women and children are exploited in domestic servitude, the farming sector (including the cocoa industry), fisheries, and construction sites, among others.
Detailed explanation-2: -Slavery is when someone actually owns you like a piece of property. Servitude is similar to slavery-you might live on the person’s premises, work for them and be unable to leave, but they don’t own you. Forced labour means you are forced to do work that you have not agreed to, under the threat of punishment.
