The less neurotic students at the Sandy Bay campus may not have noticed how absurdly warm the Morris Miller Library often is, or the fact that the toilet doors squeak really loudly or that you’ll rarely find a table that you don’t have to share with a loud-breathing phlegm machine or a Lady Gaga fan who apparently can’t hear a tune unless it’s played at concert volume.

Legally, slavery no longer exists. It was officially abolished in most of the British Empire on 1 August 1834, 173 years ago. To further enforce the abolition, Article 4 of the United Nation’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights prohibited slavery, and the slave trade worldwide, on 10 December 1948, 61 years ago. Despite these injunctions, illegal trafficking, and the related crime of illegal slavery, is a huge, hidden and lucrative enterprise.
