People & Power - Just Slaves - 08 Nov 08 - Part 2

At least 43,000 people are still living in slavery across Niger. They are born into an established slave class and labour for their masters without pay. Slaves are inherited, given as gifts, and sometimes have their children taken away from them. In April 2008, Hadijatou Mani, a former slave, took the state of Niger to court for failing to implement its own laws against slavery. People & Power follows her story.
