Slavery remains a problem in many countries across Asia, and the understanding of what makes a person vulnerable to this kind of exploitation continues to evolve. When it comes to disability, the links are less understood, and more research is needed to understand the barriers survivors with disabilities face when accessing remedies, justice and support.
In this Asia Rising podcast, the Centre's Senior Research Fellow Elisabeth Jackson explores the links between disability and slavery in Asia, drawing on ground-breaking research she undertook in collaboration with Abner Manlapaz, Cucu Saidah and Alisa Sivathorn.
