Slavery Today
Slavery still exists in the world today, though it often takes different forms than traditional chattel slavery. Modern slavery includes practices such as human trafficking, forced labor, debt bondage, and child labor. According to estimates by organizations such as the International Labour Organization (ILO) and Walk Free Foundation, tens of millions of people are currently living in conditions of modern slavery globally.
