Paragraph text
Domestic servitude and domestic slavery can be distinguished by the fact that the exploitation takes place primarily in or around the household of the perpetrators.

Beyond having to do household chores, for instance, a victim might be forced to work in agriculture, in the market or engage in prostitution.
