SLAVERY TODAY

Slavery is alive and well in the world today, including the United States. Slavery, sometimes referred to as trafficking (though trafficking is a broader term including the transport of slaves), involves the use of force, fraud or coercion to compel human beings to work, have sex, or engage in other acts against their will. Slaves, by definition, cannot exit their slavery.

Governments may declare slavery illegal, but the problem persists, sometimes in plain sight, especially in countries in which governments turn a blind eye, or fail to adequately enforce anti-slavery laws. Take this Learning Life quiz to learn more about slavery in the contemporary world, and how you can help recognize and combat it.
