Slavery - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch Slavery in the ancient Mediterranean cultures was a mixture of debt-slavery, slavery as a punishment for crime, and the enslavement of prisoners of war. Slavery in the Americas during the 17th century was an institution that made little distinction as to the race of the enslaved or the free man. But by the 18th century, the overwhelming number of enslaved "black" persons was such that white and Native American slavery was less common. Slavery under European rule began with importation of white European slaves (or indentured servants), was followed by the enslavement of local aborigines in the Caribbean, and eventually was primarily replaced with Africans imported through a large slave trade as the native populations declined through disease. encyclopedia.worldsearch.com /slavery.htm

Anti-Slavery - Timidria background It is vital that people in slavery, and the wider society, see that there is an alternative way of life for slaves, and that they do not have to remain economically dependent on their masters. Timidria holds large-scale meetings and uses poetry and drama to convey the message that slavery is not acceptable and that everyone has the right to be free. Timidria is a national human rights organisation founded in 1991, with the aim of eradicating slavery and all forms of discrimination in Niger. www.antislavery.org /homepage/antislavery/award/timidriabackground2004.htm

Library, ProutWorld: ASI and The Globalization of Slavery, G. Boeninger Anti-Slavery International, with its headquarters in London, declares in its introductory literature that it is the oldest human rights organization in the world. The global dimension and inter-networking of trafficking means that individual countries even if well-intentioned are relatively powerless to stamp out modern slavery unless there is a cohesive international effort. He calls child slavery “the biggest shame in the world” and the biggest human rights violation, as child slavery “turns humans into animals.” If we stop to consider that children are the most defenseless of all human beings, then certainly his words are correct. proutworld.prout.org /features/asi.htm

ANTI-SLAVERY INTERNATIONAL Part 2: Publications and Reports of Anti-Slavery International and predecessors, 1880-1979 It campaigns for the elimination of slavery around the world, lobbying governments and intergovernmental organisations to develop and implement anti-slavery legislation and supports local organisations in their work to raise awareness of this human rights abuse. In 1985 it was asked to submit reports on child slavery to UNICEF and in 1987 the Australian government asked them to report on the status of aborigines (in 1909 Anti-Slavery merged with the Aborigines' Protection Society). The Anti-Slavery Reporter and pamphlets held by the Society from 1767 to 1876 are not included, as these have already been made available. www.ampltd.co.uk /collections_az/AntiSlaveryInt-2/description.aspx

Anti-Slavery and Development and Peace: Debt bondage Slavery was, in a very real sense, the very first international human rights issue — responsible for the first human rights laws and the earliest non governmental organizations. Following the abolition of slavery, debt bondage was used as a method of colonial labour recruitment for the supply of labour to plantations in Africa, the Caribbean and South-East Asia. These contemporary forms of slavery are in fact as old as traditional “chattel” slavery and attempts to eradicate them have so far been much less successful than last century’s campaigns against the traditional slave-trade. www.devp.org /slavery/bondage.html

CRIN: Organisations Anti-Slavery lobbies national governments, the United Nations, and the European Union to adopt policies which will help to bring about the end of all forms of slavery.

Building Cathedrals The campaign, which will be formally launched by Anti-Slavery International in London Thursday, will argue that Western governments should both increase criminal penalties imposed on traffickers and cease returning victims swiftly to their home countries as undocumented migrants. Jim Lobe,OneWorld US; Mon Oct 21, 8:39 PM ET Anti-slavery organizations are launching a new international campaign to persuade governments, particularly in wealthy countries, to do more to curb trafficking in human beings across borders, in part by providing more support to victims. Among the NGOs that cooperated in compiling the report are La Strada of Poland, the Foundation for Women in Thailand, Payoke of Belgium, and the Coalition to Abolish Slavery and Trafficking in the United States. www.jimpaterno.com /antislavery.html

ANTI-SLAVERY INTERNATIONAL In previous years Anti-Slavery International has highlighted the situation of bonded child labourers working in the carpet industry and in brick kilns in Pakistan. The Government of Pakistan ratified the International Labour Organisation (ILO) Convention No.29 Concerning Forced Labour (1930) in 1957. In 1997 the ILO Committee of Experts on the Application of Conventions and Recommendations reported on the prevelance of bonded labour in Pakistan and repeated its hope that the necessary measures would be taken by the Government to ensure the effective enforcement of the Bonded Labour System (Abolition) Act. chmai.loxinfo.co.th /~cwanet/vol4/n4a11.htm

Redefining Prostitution as Sex Work on the International Agenda Other processes considered under both the UN and International Labour Organization's Conventions against slavery and forced labour are classified only according to means of control, for example debt bondage, rather than to activities performed. Slavery is a distortion of the employer-employee relationship and is predicated upon an enduring relationship characterised by the employer's abuse of superior power in relation to the employee. The lack of international and local protection renders sex workers vulnerable to exploitation in the workplace, and to harassment or violence at the hands of employers, law enforcement officials, clients and the public. www.walnet.org /csis/papers/redefining.html

Vigilance Soudan Anti-Slavery International also recommends that in the short term anyone responsible for a new abduction should be prosecuted, and that individuals responsible for any sort of assault, such as beatings (which have left some victims scarred or maimed) or rape, should be prosecuted and punished. Anti-Slavery International is a non-governmental organisation established in 1839 Anti-Slavery International consequently recommends that the CEAWC or other appropriate senior government authority announces a target date when prosecutions will start, and that the appropriate resources be allocated by the Government for investigations and prosecutions. www.vigilsd.org /Slavery/slav0301.htm

Some of the tiny jockeys were shown at a Dubai camel track owned by the al-Maktoums.
