Over 40 million people around the world are living in slavery today. Right now, people are being forced into debt bondage. Children are being forced into domestic slavery. And people are being trafficked by criminals for sexual and labour exploitation.
Slavery is often hidden. The violence, coercion, threats and hopelessness that go with it keep its victims locked in silence. The combined silence and secrecy can make it difficult to understand and tackle the sheer scale of the problem.
That’s why the facts matter. The more we know about modern slavery in all its forms, the more we can do to end it. Know the facts of modern slavery and arm yourself with the knowledge to join the fight against it.
If knowledge is power, then learning the facts about modern slavery is a first small step in giving power back to people who are denied it by slavery. It’s the first step in joining them in the fight against slavery
