Modern slavery often intersects with informal labor, where vulnerable individuals, like those scavenging hazardous landfills, endure exploitative conditions that mirror forced labor, trapped by poverty and systemic neglect.

This Lisa Kristine photograph was made possible by the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Foundation in partnership with a Human Thread Foundation to eradicate slavery and human trafficking.
