How Power Structures Perpetuate Modern-Day Slavery

In this video, we dive into the dark world of modern-day slavery and uncover how global power structures—governments, corporations, and economic systems—enable the exploitation of millions worldwide. Despite international laws aimed at combatting forced labor and human trafficking, systemic corruption, weak governance, and corporate greed continue to perpetuate exploitation, especially in industries like agriculture, mining, and manufacturing.

We’ll explore key insights from government reports, such as the U.S. Department of Labor’s 2024 List of Goods Produced by Forced Labor, and the U.S. Department of State's Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report, to understand the global scale of this issue. Learn how economic inequality, immigration policies, and even conflict zones contribute to modern slavery, and what steps need to be taken to combat these inhumane practices.
