Disposable People: Contemporary Global Slavery

Event Details

Slavery is illegal throughout the world, yet more than twenty-seven million people are still trapped in one of history's oldest social institutions. The underlying thread of the exhibition highlights how the unfortunate emergence of a new kind of slavery is inextricably linked to the 'ascent' of a global economy. The compendium explores a range of examples, including child labour in Bangladesh, sex slavery from Ukraine to Western Europe and the sexual enslavement of South Korean women by Japanese troops during the Second World War.
