A worker who services a building or keeps up a home under the threat of penalty and against his or her will.

Most forced labour is exacted by private agents for economic exploitation - this includes bonded labour and forced domestic and agricultural work.

"Unaccompanied girls are often captured by military and civilian men alike and used either as forced labourers by families in need of domestic workers or as ‘wives.'"
