Modern day slavery still exists and there is an estimated 10-30million slaves living today. Even though all countries ban slavery the poor are exploited and enslaved. Modern day slavery still doesn't have a clear definition, prostitution is done by some to get the extra money.
The enslaved may be involved in prostitution or might be in a country illegally as a result of trafficking – activities that could land them in trouble with the law. So, they’d rather keep quiet about their condition, Skinner said.
“They are individuals who will be seen as perpetrators of a crime against the state rather than victims of a crime against humanity,” he said. “They are aware of that so they don’t self-identify.”
Its hard to believe that even though slavery is illegal in every country today there are still millions of people living as slaves. The worst part is that they are afraid to say anything because they will be charged with crimes which were caused being enslaved.
