Slavery (issue 1/07)

In a year when the bicentenary of the passing of the Act to abolish the slave trade is marked, this issue of Mission Catalyst focuses on the issue of slavery - then and now.

 

Articles include an overview of slavery past and present, tackling the problem of human tafficking in Albania and how to combat child labour in the mining industry.

There are also book reviews, essentials facts and statistics, an introduction to the theme by Alistair Brown and a Bible reflection on the issue.
