The United Nations adopted a resolution stating that slavery and the buying or selling of people are crimes against humanity. This means taking away someone’s freedom and treating them like an object is very serious and must be punished.
This decision reminds us that in the past, millions of people were taken from their families and forced to work without freedom. The UN wants everyone, especially children, to learn about this history and understand the importance of justice and human rights.
Even today, some forms of slavery still exist. This resolution encourages all countries to protect people and defend freedom.
