- Forced labour, such as bonded labour and debt bondage, the exploitation of migrant workers and domestic servitude.
- Child labour, primarily through economic exploitation, with 1 in 4 victims of modern slavery being children.
- Trafficking, including the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of persons, by means of coercion for the purpose of exploitation.
