An estimated 50 million people were "living in situations of modern slavery" in 2021, according to the Global Slavery Index released by the human rights organization Walk Free.
That represents an increase of 10 million since a previous estimate five years ago.

Naturally, most of the names are withheld as the victims are victims of a heinous crime.
I didn't say that the people of India who live here are all slaves or slaveholders. But it is very ingrained in their culture. Thankfully, the children who grow up here are definitely not inclined toward that, being Americans at heart.
I don't trust anything that comes out of the UN. This is all bullshit propaganda.
