Siku ya Kimataifa ya Kukomesha Utumwa huadhimishwa kila mwaka tarehe 2 Desemba. Lengo lake ni kuangazia juhudi za kukomesha aina za utumwa wa kisasa, kama vile usafirishaji haramu wa binadamu, unyonyaji wa kingono, kazi za kulazimishwa, ajira za watoto, ndoa za kulazimishwa, na matumizi ya watoto katika migogoro ya silaha. Ukweli Muhimu Kuhusu Utumwa wa Kisasa Zaidi ya watu milioni 50 duniani ni waathiriwa wa utumwa wa kisasa kulingana na ripoti za hivi karibuni. Wanawake na watoto ndio wanaoathirika zaidi. Sekta za kawaida za kazi za kulazimishwa ni kilimo, ujenzi, uchimbaji madini, kazi za nyumbani, na utengenezaji wa nguo. Usafirishaji haramu wa binadamu huleta faida haramu za mabilioni ya dola kila mwaka. =========================== On this International Day for the Abolition of Slavery, we shine a light on the estimated 50 million people worldwide trapped in horrific conditions – from human trafficking to forced labour, sexual exploitation and forced marriage. Around the world, perpetrators prey on those made vulnerable by poverty, discrimination and conflict — including women and children — and profit from immeasurable human suffering. These outrageous abuses have no place in the 21st century. They are not only an affront to basic human rights — they slow development, entrench inequalities, and undermine sustainable economic development. The recently adopted Pact for the Future calls for the eradication of forced labour, an end to modern slavery and trafficking in persons, and the elimination of all forms of child labour. To transform words into deeds, governments must strengthen law enforcement, uphold human dignity, protect, liberate and support victims, and bring perpetrators to justice. And businesses must ensure supply chains are free of exploitation and promote fair and transparent labour practices. Everywhere, let us join forces to detect, report and abolish contemporary forms of slavery in all its forms. According to the ILO, there were 27.6 million people in forced labour worldwide in 2021. From 2016 to 2021, the number increased by 2.7 million, mostly due to privately imposed forced labour. No region is exempt from the problem, with Asia and the Pacific having the highest number (15.1 million), followed by Europe and Central Asia (4.1 million), Africa (3.8 million), the Americas (3.6 million) and the Arab States (0.9 million). However, in terms of prevalence, forced labour is most common in the Arab States (5.3 per thousand), followed by Europe and Central Asia (4.4), the Americas and Asia and the Pacific (both 3.5) and Africa (2.9). Most forced labour takes place in the private sector, with 86% of cases imposed by private actors - 63% for labour exploitation and 23% for sexual exploitation. State-imposed forced labour accounts for the remaining 14%. The main sectors affected are industry, services, agriculture and domestic work, which together account for 89% of forced labour cases. There are also smaller sectors such as forced begging and involvement in illegal activities. UN News
