Today slavery affects more than 40 million people worldwide – more than at any other time in history. One in 200 people is a slave.

The word “slavery” conjures up images of shackles and transatlantic ships depictions that seems relegated firmly to the past. But more people are enslaved today than at any other time in history. How many slaves are there today, and who are they?

Experts have calculated that roughly 13 million people were captured and sold as slaves between the 15th and 19th centuries; today, an estimated 40.3 million people – more than three times the figure during the transatlantic sale trade – are living in some form of modern slavery, according to the latest figures published by the UN’s International Labour Organization (ILO) and the Walk Free Foundation.

Women and girls comprise 71% for all modern slavery victims. Children make up 25% and account fo 10 million of all the slaves worldwide. This is our past and very real present.
