Historically, the Indian Ocean islands were entangled in systems of slavery prior to colonial times, with societies forming amidst the complex history of ancient slave trades and the movement of peoples from Africa, Asia, and Europe. Mauritius emerged as a pivotal player in the Indian Ocean’s slave trade industry.

The establishment of a monument at the base of The Morne Brabant mountain is a deliberate act to underscore Mauritius’s significant role in regional slave trade and to acknowledge the profound meaning of the Le Morne Cultural Landscape World Heritage Site as a central location for honoring the memory of the abolition of slavery. Mauritius is recognized as the fourth nation to erect such monuments.
