There are more than 40 million enslaved people across the world.

This is not exactly news. It’s just that the world’s media chooses to underplay or ignore it.

Of the 40.3 million people considered to be modern slaves, 24.9 million are exploited through forced labor, while 15.4 million are the victims of forced marriage, the vast majority of whom are women and children, who live in servitude through inherited debts.

The first group is made up of women and men who are forced into prostitution, unpaid domestic workers and child laborers (4.3 million).

Women and girls are also disproportionately affected by modern slavery, accounting for 71 percent of the overall total.

I note tht the article assumes that slavery in the Anericas is not that statistically important. But, it exists, even right here in the USA. Massage parlors holding women in a form of servitude. Just one of many ways women and children are slaves.

We had slavery right here in the US up until the 1970s in the form of the draft.
