Even in marriage & employment, 'slavery' can sometimes occur. HMG should take seriously modern day ‘slavery’, like child slavery, people trafficking for sex/employment, abusive marriage partner or employer, bullying, humiliation in media/cyberspace, blackmailing, caste/social class discrimination, deception, abuse, physical aggression, humiliation, forcing a person to perform acts he/she does not will wish to do. Slavery occurs even for whites in Victorian Britain, not only slavery of blacks & others in various parts of the world. Employing cheap migrant labour (legally on work permits or otherwise) can be also a form of ‘slavery’, as well as jeopardising the identity and racial harmony of a country. Equal pay for work of equal value is a good concept, introduced by European Law, but the relative value of completely different kinds of work can be blurred & ambiguous.","committee_note":null,"state":"closed","signature_count":5,"created_at":"2011-11-22T15:14:31.000Z","updated_at":"2017-06-21T15:09:19.368Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2011-11-23T10:36:40.000Z","closed_at":"2012-11-23T10:36:40.000Z","moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2011-11-22T15:14:31.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[],"signatures_by_constituency":[],"signatures_by_region":[],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
