In the modern world, human trafficking and slavery take various forms: one such example is forced labor.

In the third episode of our new themed series In Chains, we speak with Dr. Alexis Aronowitz from University College Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands, who is the author of the article, “Regulating business involvement in labor exploitation and human trafficking”.

In this episode, she further talks about how exploitative labor in businesses can be regulated using various approaches.
