So I’m still on this Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Article 4.

• No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms

Slavery shall be prohibited in all forms. I wonder who dictates the forms. I would argue that Slavery does still exist. Continually the poor (especially in other countries) are subjected to low wage jobs, extended hours, and poor conditions. They are forced to stay in these jobs because their country (or possibly thier education) has limited them from other employment opportunities.

I recently watched a documentary about Haiti, prior to the quake. The title escapes me, but I will post a comment to this post once I have that information for you. The film was about women being the strong hold of the community and the sole economic provider within the family. They often work in factories making only a few dollars a day. They are forced to endure conditions that ended in this country years ago. They can’t speak, they can’t stand, they can’t use a sanitary bathroom. BUT they must stay at this job to support and provide for their family. Many of the homes are in shambles consisting of one room. This one room is the bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, etc.

Isn’t this servitude? A few dollars a day can’t be considered anything but…

These are my opinions, however i know they are notjustmythoughts.
