Modern slavery is when someone takes advantage of others by trickery, coercion or force resulting in the loss of their freedom. Criminals undertake this activity for their own personal or commercial gain.

Examples include but are not limited to human trafficking, forced labour or being tricked into working for little or no money to repay a debt held against them.
