People are sold like objects, forced to work for little or no pay and are at the mercy of their ‘employers’. This paper discussed modern slavery and forced labour as a social problem in the society today. It is noted that slavey and forced labour affects people of every age, race and sex and is an obstacle to the achievement of educational goals.
