Question

question 1 of 4 which of the following is not a factor that makes people become victims of slavery? a child marriage b war and poverty c dishonest government d inability to read and write

Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze each option:

• Option B (war and poverty): War and poverty can displace people, making them vulnerable to slavery as they may be forced into situations of exploitation for survival or due to lack of protection.
• Option C (dishonest government): A corrupt or dishonest government may fail to enforce laws against slavery, or even facilitate it through collusion, leaving people unprotected and at risk.
• Option D (inability to read and write): Illiteracy can limit people's access to information about their rights, opportunities, and the risks of slavery, making them easier targets for traffickers or slaveholders.
• Option A (child marriage): Child marriage primarily involves the marriage of a child (usually a girl) at a young age, often related to cultural, social, or economic factors within a family or community. While it is a form of exploitation and a human rights violation, it is not a direct factor that leads to people becoming victims of slavery (in the sense of being forced into involuntary servitude, labor exploitation, etc. as is typically associated with slavery). Slavery involves being owned, forced to work without consent or pay, and having one's freedom completely restricted, whereas child marriage, although harmful, is a different form of exploitation centered around marital status rather than enslavement.

Answer:

A. child marriage
