(MENAFN) Aidan McQuade, a leading antislavery advocate, suggests that addressing modern slavery requires a comprehensive program that cancels debt among the slavery-vulnerable populations across the globe. He emphasizes that no country should have a system of visas that tie the employment of migrant workers to specific employers, giving them the power to exploit and abuse those workers. McQuade believes that this practice should be made unlawful around the world.
In addition, educating vulnerable communities about slavery and enabling them to access trade unions are crucial steps that countries should take to eradicate slavery. By providing education and support, vulnerable communities can better understand their rights and how to protect themselves from exploitation and abuse.
McQuade stresses that modern slavery is a complex issue that requires a comprehensive program to combat it. In addition to canceling debt and banning exploitative visa systems, countries must also work to create policies and laws that protect vulnerable workers and hold perpetrators accountable. This includes investing in law enforcement agencies and providing support to victims of slavery.
Overall, McQuade's call for a comprehensive program to combat modern slavery highlights the urgent need for action from governments, businesses, and individuals. Only through a coordinated and sustained effort can we hope to eradicate this fundamental abuse of human rights.
