Resumen
El trabajo forzoso es una forma de explotación laboral que puede tener graves
consecuencias para la salud física y mental de las personas. El trabajo forzoso implica
trabajar sin consentimiento, bajo amenaza, coerción o engaño, y a menudo implica largas
horas de trabajo, bajos salarios y condiciones de trabajo peligrosas. En términos de salud
física, el trabajo forzoso puede llevar a lesiones y enfermedades relacionadas con el
trabajo, como lesiones musculoesqueléticas, problemas respiratorios y enfermedades
infecciosas. Además, las condiciones de trabajo peligrosas pueden aumentar el riesgo de
accidentes laborales graves. En cuanto a la salud mental, el trabajo forzoso puede tener
efectos perjudiciales a largo plazo, como la depresión, el trastorno de estrés
postraumático, la ansiedad y otros problemas de salud mental. La falta de control sobre
el entorno laboral, la falta de apoyo social y la sensación de estar atrapado en una situación
de explotación pueden tener un impacto significativo en la salud mental de las personas.
Colombia es un país con uno los índices de desigualdad social más altos del continente y
una de sus tantas causas es la escasez de empleo digno y bien pagado. No obstante, las
ofertas de remuneración en el sector privado – que es en el cual existen mayores vacantes
– son bajas y en ocasiones, las condiciones contractuales no son las mejores ya que en los
últimos años, tipos de contrato tales como los de “obra labor” u “Orden de Prestación de
servicios”, son los más usados En línea con lo anterior, y por desconocimiento de la ley,
las personas que aceptan este tipo de contratos, en la mayoría de los casos, terminan con
afectaciones en su salud física y/o mental debido al trabajo forzoso al que son sometidas.
Forced labor is a form of labor exploitation that can have serious consequences for people's physical and mental health. Forced labor involves working without consent, under threat, coercion, or deceit, and often involves long working hours, low wages, and dangerous working conditions. In terms of physical health, forced labor can lead to workrelated injuries and illnesses, such as musculoskeletal injuries, respiratory problems, and infectious diseases. In addition, dangerous working conditions can increase the risk of serious accidents at work. In terms of mental health, forced labor can have long-term detrimental effects, including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and other mental health problems. Lack of control over the work environment, lack of social support and a feeling of being trapped in an exploitative situation can have a significant impact on people's mental health. Colombia is a country with one of the highest rates of social inequality in the continent and one of its many causes is the scarcity of decent and well-paid employment. However, the remuneration offers in the private sector - which is where there are more vacancies - are low and sometimes, the contractual conditions are not the best since in recent years, types of contracts such as "work work" or "Order for Provision of Services", are the most used. In line with the above, and due to ignorance of the law, people who accept this type of contract, in most cases, end up with effects on their health physical and/or mental due to the forced labor to which they are subjected.
