Slavery Today


Slavery continues in different forms in almost every country in the world. People have different ideas on what is considered slavery. for example workers in low-wage jobs or inhumane working conditions. However modern-day slaves differ from these workers because they are forced to work under the threat of extreme violence.
A BBC program called Slavery Today explores some of the places where slavery is still common and takes a look at the fastest growing problem in modern slavery: trafficking people into the West.
