This also includes victims of human trafficking, forced labor, debt bondage, forced or servile marriage, and the sale and exploitation of children" (Balachandran par. 3). aaflores31 https://padlet.com/aaflores31/iewo70txjkewif6a/wish/757150245 2020-09-17 22:10:52 UTC https://padlet.com/aaflores31/iewo70txjkewif6a/wish/757150245 "Today, laborers move around freely looking for work, but some end up caught in slavery-like situations. They are promised a good job with decent conditions and wages, but instead are trapped in a cycle of debt and despair, where they are bound to their employer with no chance of escape" (Armstrong par. 13). aaflores31 https://padlet.com/aaflores31/iewo70txjkewif6a/wish/757160185 2020-09-17 22:17:17 UTC https://padlet.com/aaflores31/iewo70txjkewif6a/wish/757160185 aaflores31 https://padlet.com/aaflores31/iewo70txjkewif6a/wish/758620500 2020-09-18 13:30:53 UTC https://padlet.com/aaflores31/iewo70txjkewif6a/wish/758620500
