What are the signs of slavery?

  • Victims may show signs of physical or psychological abuse, look malnourished or unkempt, or appear withdrawn
  • They may be isolated, rarely allowed to travel on their own
  • They may be living in dirty or overcrowded accommodation
  • They may have no identification documents and few belongings
  • They may be reluctant to seek help, avoiding eye contact and remaining wary of talking to authorities for fear of deportation or of violence from their captors
