Generally speaking, forced labor occurs through the continual labor of an individual forced to work by mental or physical threat.
Each precious soul forced into this evil form of bonded slavery is a victim and should be treated as such. They are modern day slaves suffering intensely for the profit of a few.
The world over, each story is different yet eerily similar (in brief):
- Forced laborers are owned by an employer to whom the slave or slave’s family is indebted.
- Forced laborers are compelled to work long hours, often seven days a week, for meager wages, if any, attempting to pay back a debt that increases at exorbitant interest rates.
- In reality, there is no way to repay the debt and the laborer becomes essentially a slave for life.
- Many forced laborers are children who are beaten and abused if they do not fulfill the extreme expectations of the owner.
Turn your whisper into a roar that is changing individuals, communities and nations!
