- Summary
Power Point Presentation of Amy Weatherburn for the final conference Rights at Work - Tackling labour exploitaiton in all economic sectors in Poland, Bulgaria and Romania.
Her presentation refered to the legal vicissitudes in different European jurisdictions. For her PhD study, she makes a comparison between legal definitions of human trafficking and labour exploitation in Belgium, England and Wales. She sketched the historically different forms of labour exploitation in law (slavery, servitude and forced labour) and highlighted the fact that despite important commonalities across countries, different jurisdictions use different definitions, thus criminalising different acts and using different legal tools.
