Servile marriage 2012, para. 47 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Honour-related killings are practised by some communities in their countries of origin or in the countries to which they have immigrated. Honour-related killings occur in Asia, the Middle East and Europe, where first-generation immigrants have passed the practice on to their children and grandchildren. Among some Asian communities, to guard the honour of a clan, marriages take place within the biradari system, a social caste system that divides people into separate communities and combines caste and honour with notions of total loyalty to the clan. | Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of slavery, including its causes and consequences | Special Procedures' report |

Debt bondage as a key form of contemporary slavery 2016, para. 41 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Bonded labourers commonly belong to minority groups vulnerable to discrimination, such as certain racial groups, women, indigenous people, people of "low" caste and migrant workers. The discrimination suffered by these groups frequently prevents them from accessing education, health care, clean water and credit. Furthermore, demands from bonded labourers for fair treatment, or their resistance to exploitation, often cause them to face social sanctions and boycotts that further restrict their possibility of overcoming discrimination or of leaving the situation of bondage. The discrimination faced by bonded labourers comes in some cases not only from society at large but also from other members of the same minority groups. | Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of slavery, including its causes and consequences | Special Procedures' report |

Child slavery in the artisanal mining and quarrying sector 2011, para. 47 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | The lack of traditional family and social structures in artisanal mining and quarrying communities increases the likelihood of child slavery. This is especially true for migrant and trafficked children working in this sector. They are often undocumented, do not receive any Government support or protection and are vulnerable to exploitation by mine employers. These communities are set up by people who for various reasons leave their traditional way of live and go to work in this sector. The communities are set up in an ad hoc manner with little or no regard to societal norms. These communities often attract those unable or unwilling to sustain traditional lifestyles or occupations (see A/HRC/18/30/Add.1). | Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of slavery, including its causes and consequences | Special Procedures' report |

Child slavery in the artisanal mining and quarrying sector 2011, para. 46 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Many children who work also come from groups that have been discriminated against and/or marginalized, for example, indigenous peoples, migrants or those given a certain social status such as caste. For example, countries may have a highly stratified society which in many communities dictates the kind of work one does. This means that a family from a particular stratum can only perform certain jobs. The lower you are in this stratified society the lower paid the jobs that one can perform. Consequently, one finds that many children who work are those from the lower strata. This makes them doubly vulnerable to abuses. | Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of slavery, including its causes and consequences | Special Procedures' report |
