About: International Day for the Abolition of Slavery

The International Day for the Abolition of Slavery is a yearly event on December 2, organized since 1986 by the United Nations General Assembly. The Convention for the Suppression of the Traffic in Persons and of the Exploitation of the Prostitution of Others was approved by the United Nations General Assembly on December 2, 1949. Besides, by resolution 57/195 of 18 December 2002, the Assembly proclaimed 2004 the International Year to Commemorate the Struggle against Slavery and its Abolition. The United Nations emphasizes the fight against slavery as part of its commitment to human rights, recognizing that slavery in any form is a grave violation. Modern slavery is a global problem, affecting over one million children trafficked each year for cheap labor or sexual exploitation, challenging the Universal Declaration of Human Rights' stance that "no one shall be held in slavery or servitude."
