Slavery is something everyone knows existed in the past. The idea of people being imprisoned, ill-treated, and forced to do things against their will is heartbreaking. And it’s difficult to understand how it was ever acceptable. Thankfully, in the modern world, slavery is seen as morally and lawfully wrong… But sadly, it does still exist.

It’s estimated that around 50 million victims are currently trapped in modern slavery globally. The true number is unknown, though, because so many modern slavery incidents go unreported.
