AmBank's Anthony Dass: What is modern slavery? Modern slavery is the severe exploitation of other people for personal or commercial gain. People can become entrapped making our clothes, serving our food, picking our crops, working in factories, or working in houses as cooks, cleaners, or nannies. When looking from the outside, the jobs being carried out look like a normal job.
IN today’s increasing modernised world of digitalisation and globalisation, it is only appropriate for everyone to believe that every single individual living on this planet must have the right to a life free from slavery. Is this really happening?
Unfortunately, the answer is no. It is being said that now, millions of children and adults are trapped in slavery in every single country in the world that includes in Malaysia. It is estimated that more than 40 million people are trapped in modern slavery globally.
