Domestic servitude is a form of trafficking in human beings which is extremely difficult to detect because the work is performed in private residences as seemingly normal practice, that is used as cover for the exploitation and control of someone for example, nannies or other domestic help, but the moment their employment arrangement transitions into a situation whereby they cannot leave on their own free will, it becomes a case of enslavement. It is a type of forced labour whereby the victim is usually expected to work around a person’s home every day and be ‘on call’ 24 hours a day
Other forms of exploitation to be aware of that are linked to Modern Slavery/ Human Trafficking are; Criminal activity, Organ removal, Forced begging, Forced marriage, Forced benefit fraud, Illegal adoption.
Sexual exploitation and child sexual exploitation (as part of modern slavery or human trafficking). A person who is trafficked for the purpose of sexual exploitation may be controlled by violence, threats, substance abuse, deception or grooming; this can happen to any gender, race and age and can take place in brothels, hotels, residential housing or on our streets forced to prostitute.
