062 Slave trade; -21st century

International Day for the Abolition of Slavery - 2 December
"In the 19th century, the international community came together to declare slavery an affront to our common humanity. Today, governments, civil society and the private sector must unite to eradicate all contemporary forms of slavery, including forced labour. Together, let us do our utmost for the millions of victims throughout the world who are held in slavery and deprived of their human rights and dignity."
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
Message for the International Day for the Abolition of Slavery 2 December,
The International Day for the Abolition of Slavery focuses on eradicating contemporary forms of slavery, such as trafficking in persons, sexual exploitation, the worst forms of child labour, forced marriage, and the forced recruitment of children for use in armed conflict.

063 Slave trade -'the Slave Ship' by J.M.W.Turner

´The Slave Ship or Slavers Throwing Overboard the Dead and Dying - Typhoon Coming On´, by Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851), English painter, watercolorist and printmaker
Captains of slave ships carrying people in chains from Africa across the Middle Passage into slavery in the New World would throw the sick and dying overboard. The captain and the owners could then collect insurance for the lost ´cargo´; there was no compensation for the lives of human beings lost to illness.

064a Slave trade -Slave Trade

caption: "East African enslaved people released from a dhow by HMS Daphne, 1 November 1868. These photographs were taken about 1868, off the east coast of Africa. They form part of a report from John Armstrong Challice, a Lieutenant in the Royal Navy, working to abolish slavery in Zanzibar. Zanzibar did not abolish slavery until 1897.
Having been the largest slaving nation, Britain became a determined abolitionist power after 1833, using the Royal Navy to stop ships suspected of being slavers."
