Slavery Today

We think of slavery as something that happened long ago. But it is still happening today! Among the huge number of slaves, about 9 million are children. Slavery is when someone is owned by other people and doesn't have freedom, and is forced into an exploitative, humiliating and abusing life. Slavery mainly happens in Africa, large parts of Asia, Middle East, South America, and few parts of Europe. Would you like to be owned by someone?
