more-in

If you thought slavery is a thing of the past, think again.

A report released by the United Nations' International Labour Organisation (ILO) states that slavery exists in modern day in the form of forced labour, forced marriage, and forced sexual exploitation.

The information in the video is based on the report Global estimates of modern slavery: Forced labour and forced marriage that was developed by the International Labour Organization and Walk Free Foundation in partnership with the International Organization for Migration.
