Modern slavery
Facts & figures:
The number of people enslaved worldwide is estimated to be anywhere between
21 and 36 million, 26% of which are children under the age of 18.
Almost 50% of modern slaves are enslaved in India, with
China and Pakistan holding second and third place.
A common misconception is that slave labour and human trafficking is primarily
limited to the sex industry, but as many as 78% of slaves
world wide are victims of forced labour in industries
that are not related to sex.
