In the last five years, hundreds of women have been saved from domestic slavery and violent abuse in the UK. More than 220 of those rescues were carried out by a small, fearless band of volunteers.
There are also 400,000 illegally enslaved people in the US too. It’s one of the 13 countries with 98% percent of the modern illegally enslaved populations. India is number one by total amount of slaves if anyone was wondering. North Korea was Number one by percentage population, unsurprisingly.
Just a reminder that the US never outlawed slavery, the US prison industry is one of the biggest examples of legal modern slavery.
