Slavery Today

Modern Day slavery is still around today. it stretches across the whole wide world. Many victims of slavery are not captured how they were back in the day. Today victims are tricked into being sex slaves many in different countries are poor and are tricked into "getting a better life" once they get on that bus to go to their better life their passports are taken away and then the only way out is to escape. Modern day slavery doe not consists of shackles anymore it consists of rape, abuse, farming labor, torture, and mental abuse. Today slaves are kidnapped off the streets and taken into sex offenders homes and raped repeatedly. To help end slavery Obama has created "anti-trafficking month" in January 2012. This is to make people more aware about slavery and how serious it is around the world. Many reasons today why people become slaves are because debt bondage, which means they are in debt and have no money to pay. Bonded labor which also means people are in debt and they are in labor to try and pay off their debt and attached labor. Slavery is someone being taken away from heir rights and being used for another persons needs against their own will. Child slavery differs from chocolate slaves is that child slaves do farm work and chocolate slaves work in factories to make and ship chocolate. The top 3 facts that are most important to me about slavery are Human trafficking is the modern day slave trade, 27 million slaves are in the world today, and each year thousands of slaves are trafficked into the united states.
