Modern Slavery
It is estimated that 40.3million people live in modern slavery today. It should not be possible that one human should ever be denied basic human rights because of fear, exploitation, deceit, or physical or emotional restraint. Women and girls account for 71 percent of people living in modern slavery. Females account for a staggering 99 per cent of all victims of forced sexual exploitation, 84 per cent of all victims of forced marriage, and 58 per cent of all victims of forced labour. Females also outnumber males as victims of modern slavery in four of five world regions. For resources and information on Modern Slavery click the link here to Global Slavery Index.
