Events
To Abolishment of Slavery
@ 5.30pm
Lecture Theatre, Central Library, Bolton
To mark the 200th anniversary of the legal abolishment of the slave trade in Britain an event has been organised to understand the implications & legacy of the slave trade, its relationship to poverty, and the positive unique role Muslims played in its abolishment.
Slavery in various forms has been practised throughout human history which has led to vast human misery, suffering, injustice and poverty. Different societies and civilisations dealt with the inherited slavery problem using a variety of approaches, ranging from legalisation, immediate abolishment to phased elimination from society. The Islamic civilisation, although condemning all forms of intellectual, physical and spiritual slavery adopted the approach of phased elimination from society.

Various speakers will highlight the lessons we need to learn from the era of slavery, its implications in the modern age and how we can prevent its re-emergence in new forms.
