Chapter 1: What Is Slavery?

What Does Slavery Mean?

Slavery is when a person is treated like property.

They are:

  • Forced to work
  • Not paid or paid almost nothing
  • Not allowed to leave

Their choices do not matter to the person in control.

Slavery is always unfair and wrong. Everyone has the right to be free and safe.
