Christien van den Anker 35 livelihood ‘forces’ them to ‘employ’ slave labour). In all cases of contemporary slavery, provisions need to be established for ex-slaves to overcome the trauma of slavery and to be educated and reintegrated into society on a basis of equality. Finally, all current slaves and future potential slaves would benefit from lobbying for global taxation such as the Tobin tax, increased funding of development projects, growing networks of Fair Trade and exposing the poverty-increasing effects of globalization and its existence as a political project, not a law of nature. Globalization has also contributed to the culture of opposition to injustice, by facilitating easier networking between NGOs, the growth of international organizations and international law in areas of human rights and labour conditions and, more generally, increased collaboration between states due to a changing conception of sovereignty. Some specific ways forward for different types of contemporary slavery are, for example, campaigns to show governments that the focus on immigration in order to combat trafficking results in more hassle for the victims. Governments need to be shown that the rights and interests of the victims of trafficking should come first. Other specific ways forward would be the organizing of bonded labourers into savings unions to buy themselves free one by one and awareness-raising on the issue of domestic migrant workers. Cosmopolitanism usually argues in quite abstract ways about duties and rights across boundaries. The goal of eliminating contemporary slavery raises the prospect of strengthening the cosmopolitan approach since it shows that injustice is already widely perceived as a matter of responsibility across boundaries. Consumer actions against products made by slaves show motivation to end injustice no matter where it takes place. It may be argued that the ongoing support for unjust practices is due more to lack of information than to lack of motivation to be just to people across national borders. In this chapter I proposed to use five principles as a guideline for policy-making and campaigns in the struggle to eliminate contemporary slavery: respect for the rights of victims as starting point; cosmopolitan impartiality (justice for all) as the basis for policies/ laws; respect for the agency of victims; the long-term goal of structural change to the ‘rules of the game’ of global capitalism; the provision of support to develop viable alternative livelihoods.
36 Contemporary Slavery, Global Justice and Globalization These principles would help us to go beyond present approaches and they would provide a perspective which would designate responsibility for contemporary forms of slavery no longer simply at the door of the immediate perpetrators, but more widely in the overall international system and its present inequality. They need to form the basis for national policies as well as for global initiatives.
