Enslavement of workers in broad range of fields

mercredi 29 novembre 2023 à 02:49

Enslavement of workers applies to a broad range of fields of work — even including carrying out internet scams. I'm concerned that some countries will prosecute the slaves for the crimes they were forced to commit.

It is a mistake to associate the injustice of enslavement of workers with specific fields of work. I've read about many areas and there are surely more.

This article contains an example of the tendency to undermine the word "survivor". This happens when people apply it to experiences which are painful, maybe also harmful, but unlikely to kill their victims. This is an exaggeration; in a few decades time, it won't achieve its goal any more, as "survivor will have come to mean no more than "victim".

The cruelty that slaves experience is horrible in reality; there is no need to exaggerate it by calling the victims "survivors".
