Slavery

Post by noosard » September 12, 2022, 2:46 pm

An estimated 50 million people are now living in modern slavery - up 10 million since 2016 – according to the 2021 Global Estimates of Modern Slavery, released by the International Labour Organisation, Walk Free and the International Organisation for Migration on Monday.
Modern slavery is defined as severe exploitation that a person cannot leave due to threats, violence or deception. It includes forced labour, sexual exploitation, debt bondage, forced marriage, slavery, and human trafficking.

1 in 4 of them are children.
Almost three quarters (71%) are women and girls.

^ No, not all. But you asked 'if we knew the biggest offenders'. I was telling you one of the biggest offenders.

Although there are some small variations depending on the source, the general consensus is that India is the biggest offender. Also high on the list are China, North Korea, Nigeria, Iran, Indonesia, Congo, Russia, Philippines, and Afghanistan. https://worldpopulationreview.com/count ... ve-slavery

I would not be surprised if there were even more pseudo slavery victims than outright slaves. Indentured labour servants, agricultural workers, seamen etc.

How would you classify relationships in some countries where wives, girlfriends and children are subjugated by an abusive male.
I had a bumper sticker in Texas that read 'Beam me up Scotty'. I often wish I could find one in Udon Thani
