| | Anti-Slavery and Development and Peace: Debt bondage |
 | | As we approach the millenium we join the call that governments declare the year 2000 a ‘Jubilee’ year, in which debts are cancelled and all those enslaved as a result of debt are set free. | | | Placing a law on the statute books, without ensuring that the necessary legislative or administrative systems are in place and functioning, does nothing to address the problem of debt bondage in Pakistan. | | | Following many years of international complaints, the government of the Dominican Republic changed its labour code in 1992 to include protection of workers against gross exploitation. |

| | The writings of Las Casas abound in denunciations against slavery; and from the language of Herrera himself, it would not conclusively appear that Las Casas designed, to have the Africans imported by compulsion, or held as slaves.—Vide the Abbé Grégoire's Defence of Las Casas | | | Whether this act prohibited, or whether it authorized such slavery as afterwards actually existed in the colony of Massachusetts, might not be very difficult to determine. | | | Of this, and of the concurrent action of the Methodist Conference, and Presbyterian General Assembly, we shall treat, in connection with the records of a later period. |

| | Ultimately, those modern mega corporations must leverage their vast resources and market influence as major produce buyers to clean up slavery and other labor abuses in their supply chains once and for all. | | | At the same time, the CIW believes that the ultimate solution to modern-day slavery in agribusiness lies on the "demand side" of the US produce market -- the major food-buying corporations that profit from the artificially-low cost of US produce picked by workers in sweatshop and, in the worst cases, slavery conditions. | | | * In 2002, three Florida-based agricultural employers convicted in federal court on slavery, extortion, and weapons charges were sentenced to a total of nearly 35 years in prison and the forfeiture of $3 million in assets. |

| | The incoming resources of the Society declined sharply, and this last report recorded less than ninety dollars in receipts for the year. | | | As a society devoted to the immediate abolition of slavery, the antislavery movement forms the context of most of the correspondence in the collection, but the members of the society were individually and collectively involved in the education of freedmen and in other movements, including women's rights. | | | As a result, the collection offers a broad perspective on the mentality and activity of a small group of progressive northern women involved in the reform of what they saw as the worst inequities in American society. |
