Does anyone know where I can find details, or a good article, about all of these slaves in India and Pakistan?
edit:
the report itself lists the details.
Bonded labour is the greatest problem in Pakistan. The Asian
Development Bank estimates that 1.8 million people are bonded labourers, though many NGOs place the estimate much higher.
India exhibits the full spectrum of different forms of modern slavery, from severe forms
of inter-generational bonded labour across various industries to the worst forms of child labour, commercial
sexual exploitation, and forced and servile marriage.
- unfasten 13y agoAl Jazeera also did a series on modern slavery (http://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/slaverya21stcenturyevil/ http://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/slaverya21stcenturyevil/). The Bonded Slaves episode covers Pakistan and the use of slaves in brick kiln factories. If you're outside the U.S. you can watch it online (from their site or on their YouTube channel). If anyone inside the U.S. wants to watch it, then I'm afraid you're out of luck since we lost online access when Al Jazeera America launched.
