Modern Slavery

In Paris, we meet the former house slave Rania, who came to France from Morocco as a child. Acquaintances of her family promised her a future in Paris, with education and a place to live. Instead she had to work for free as a maid and a babysitter. A childhood characterized by forced labour, violence and deprivation of liberty. And no education. Rania is today an adult and gets help with taking her former slave holder to law. Children in the sex industry are a direct result of attitudes to sex among men who are leading thousands of children into a life as sex slaves. Both Sino and La Thiya have experienced men who have exploited them grossly, without any form of payment. Their stories are close and moving. Today they're both working for a centre who are helping women to get out of sexual slavery.

Trafficking is the most well-known form of modern slavery. It brings millions of people to countries where they often are promised work, a place to live and a better future. The Gutu sisters thought they were going to work with old people, but instead they were forced into prostitution when arriving in Turkey. When one of the women becamomes very ill, it's her sister who has to work for both, so she can return to Moldova. One year later she was free to be reunited with her family. We follow the sisters in the process when they're taking the traffickers to law.
