SUMMARY:International Day for the Abolition of Slavery
DESCRIPTION:The International Day for the Abolition of Slavery, 2 December, marks the date of the adoption, by the General Assembly, of the United Nations Convention for the Suppression of the Traffic in Persons and of the Exploitation of the Prostitution of Others (resolution 317(IV) ( http://undocs.org/A/RES/317(IV) ) of 2 December 1949).\nThe focus of this day is on eradicating contemporary forms of slavery, such as trafficking in persons, sexual exploitation, the worst forms of child labour, forced marriage, and the forced recruitment of children for use in armed conflict.\nSlavery has evolved and manifested itself in different ways throughout history. Today some traditional forms of slavery still persist in their earlier forms, while others have been transformed into new ones. The UN human rights bodies have documented the persistence of old forms of slavery that are embedded in traditional beliefs and customs. These forms of slavery are the result of long-standing discrimination against the most vulnerable groups in societies, such as those regarded as being of low caste, tribal minorities and indigenous peoples.\nDid you know?\n\nAn estimated 50 million people are in modern slavery, including 28 million in forced labour and 22 million in forced marriage.\nAlmost one in eight of all those in forced labour are children. More than half of these children are in commercial sexual exploitation.\nMost cases of forced labour (86 per cent) are found in the private sector.\nAlmost four out of five of those in forced commercial sexual exploitation are women or girls.\n\n
