Modern Slavery

Even today human trafficking is an issue, around the world there are millions of men, women and children being forced into slavery everyday. Barack Obama declared the month of January 2012 to slavery prevention month and Google has also gotten involved in slavery prevention.There are about 27 million people in slavery today that don't get paid but instead are threatened by the people they work for.Some of the people are forced to work through physical violence; others are forced to work by the people that they're in debt to even when they've paid. Even though slavery is illegal almost everywhere it still happens. We could end slavery by having businesses demand that the goods that they buy weren't made by slaves and by funding anti-slavery movements.
