For all those who would like to learn more about the realities of modern day slavery, I highly recommend reading ‘Disposable People: New Slavery in the Global Economy’, by Kevin Bales. It provides a fascinating insight into the various types of slavery that exist in the world today, and will answer many of the questions bought up in the above debate. If you are moved enough to want to take futher action, why not join one of the ‘Free the Slaves and/or ‘Anti Slavery International’ groups on Facebook and be contacted directly with news of what you can do to help end this human rights atrocity.

actually. did u guys know that americas slave owners bring in over 6 billion dollars alone just in the united states? the education system educates our country only on what they want to hear and what makes us look good. the U.S. does not participate in open slavery but we still participate. also, institutional racism and capitalism still exist, if u know what that is you would know how our system is set up to have particular races succeed and some fail. it is the easiest way to legally control different races. that is why our schools are funded off of property taxes. rich people, get rich educations, poor people get poor educations. the majority of poor people are who? minorities. modern slavery today runs off of those most vulnerable. which again are minorities. so No, white people are not supposed to feel guilty. thats not what is being asked. but white people are the majority of this country. so the majority of this country and leaders are the only ones who can really change the laws, making everything legal. educate yourselves on these particular topics. dnt be ignorant. education is the only key to making any changes : )

I cant belive this! Im doing my school project and I find this information. This is just horrible! No one should have to be a slave ever, I hope that Free The Slaves are right and that all slaves can be freed with in 25 years

i dont get it. on the 3rd part, it says “17,500 slaves are brought into the US every year, with 50,000 of those working as prostitutes, farm workers or domestic servants.”
so, 17,500 slaves r brought into the us every year, and 50,000 out of 17,500 are prostitutes, etc??
50,000 OUT OF 17,500?????????
