International Slavery Museum

Slavery is outlawed in every country, but that doesn't mean it no longer exists. Today, as many as 27 million people across the world endure forms of treatment that merit the term "slavery" just as surely as those bought and sold in the Transatlantic slave trade 200 years ago.. Many victims of contemporary slavery are young people - the same age as those taught in schools in England and Wales.

We hope that when students encounter this material, they will learn about how basic human rights, including those of people their own age, continue to be violated, and that they will develop empathy with those enduring slavery today and become motivated to contribute to their fight for freedom.

Who is the website for?
The site has been produced with particular reference to the teaching of Citizenship within the National Curriculum of England and Wales. We hope it will also be used beyond these borders among students aged 10-14.

What's included?
information on contemporary forms of slavery and initiatives to outlaw and combat it
teaching resources consisting of a set of lesson plans with supporting materials such as worksheets, and case studies
a list of campaigns and organisations that can help with research
a glossary with clear explanations of key concepts to help understand, think about and discuss contemporary slavery.
