Disturbingly, <strong>I find that the process of people-smuggling has parallels with modern slavery.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m particularly sensitive to the issue these days.

For instance some paintings portrayed the slaves as anonymous, soulless. <strong>Concealing individuality was one way to deprive slaves of their human dignity \u2013 and indirectly, this was used to justify the trade.<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1089\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1089\" style=\"width: 711px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.iese.edu\/africa\/files\/2015\/04\/20150425_124257-e1430293266504.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1089 \" src=\"https:\/\/blog.iese.edu\/africa\/files\/2015\/04\/20150425_124257-e1430293266504.jpg\" alt=\"Structure of a boat used for the slave trade (Afro-Brazilian Museum, Sao Paulo)\" width=\"711\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1089\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Structure of a boat used for the slave trade (Afro-Brazilian Museum, Sao Paulo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Look at the data reported by the Financial Times (original source: the<a title=\"International Organization for Migration\" href=\"http:\/\/www.iom.int\/cms\/en\/sites\/iom\/home.html\" target=\"_blank\"> International Organization for Migration<\/a>):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>1,727 migrants dead in the Mediterranean so far in 2015;<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>the death rate has increased from 0.2 % (Jan-Apr 2014) to 7.5 % (Jan-Apr 2015);<\/li>\n<li>170,100 migrants reached Italy in 2014, four times more than in 2013.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This suggests that cutting rescue budgets (as the EU did last year) doesn&#8217;t discourage migrants from taking risks with people smugglers.
