Roots : Are slaves still owned today?

Do any farms or ranches still own slaves today?

Troll again

At least not in this country.

There are slaves on six continents. A few years ago I remember there was this Ethiopian woman held against her will somewhere upstate. She was essentislly this family's slave for like five years so she could work off her debt to the coyote. This year the AP won the Pulitzer for exposing the slave trade in Thailand. Fishing companies were telling men they would get work but instead they were putting them in bondage on fishing boats because they couldn't keep up with the demand. That fish you pick uo from Walmart and Costco it's dirty. And don't forget about the numerous sex slaves held against their will all over the world l.

Slaves have existed since the beginning of time. Not gonna change.

Are you familiar with the term "human trafficking"?

That's not the same thing. That's when people are sold as sex slaves. I meant for labor..

There are more slaves worldwide today than there were at the height of the Atlantic slave system. The difference is that slavery is illegal everywhere now so enslavers are more covert in their actions.

There's this idea among many that modern day slavery is mostly about sex work, but most slaves are doing other kind of labor, including agricultural and domestic work.

Unless Alpert's covered in bacon grease, I don't think Hugo can track anything.

Slavery will always exist. How it's handeled and utilized, changes with the century.

Yes slavery exist right here in the U.S and it's perfectly legal. Read your constitution; Slavery was never fully abolished and many of you have them in your own families. They're called inmates.

I woke up this way

in africa, the middle east and asia

Yes. The difference s that it's not legal and the people keeping slaves can't rely on the state to enforce discipline for them.

yes
everyone working 9-5 stuck in a cubicle is a slave to this cruel and harsh society.

Sex slavery is alive and well here in the USA. I have a friend whose teen daughter went missing a few years ago. She is positive her daughter was taken into sex slavery. She works with a chapter in Atlanta to help find those who are sex slaves. I don't have time to list all the proof of it being active in the USA but a Google search will show you what you might not want to know. When I started reading about it I couldn't believe what I saw and read. It is frightening. Sex slavery has been around for years.

Child Labor slavery is active in the U.K.

Here in the USA there are also illegal immigrants who have been held as slaves. They are made to be live in slaves some are very young. It's disturbing.

Many don't want to believe it still exists but it does.

If you make minimum wage, yes.
