What are you thoughts? 

Modern day slavery still exists, and it's happening at an alarming rate. The Global Slavery Index released a shocking report last week, estimating that almost 30 million people worldwide are living as slaves. The index, compiled by Australian-based rights organizationWalk Free Foundation, defines modern day slavery as debt bondage, human trafficking and forced marriage.

The country with the highest proportion of slaves is Mauritania, in West Africa. The report explains that Mauritania has such a high percentage of slaves because people inherit slave status from their ancestors. “It would be comforting to think that slavery is a relic of history, but it remains a scar on humanity on every continent," Walk Free CEO Nick Grono said.

Gravity is not making anyone slave, I would rather say it is making life easy, consistent and safe.

The difference in Human and Nonhuman is an innate and inborn character that cannot subjugate any living being..cannot demean, dominate other living beings. Non-Humans feel entitlement, pleasure in Domination, power, control, and watching any living being grovel delivers pleasure and enjoyment to their empty and insecure minds.

To enslave is the Non-Human goal in live...and every living being that encounters the Non-Human will be subjected to this entitlement behavior...Those who resemble Humans in appearance are not always human.

In places like India and China compared to their huge populations it is miniscule and just a small percentage of their population but what about other places where people choose to be slaves and cant even do something without permission or going to their employer for each and every little thing. It would be interesting and the list would be inflated if we also took into consideration the others who choose to be slaves

Yes.. youngsters should think and bring such system which can reduce the gaps between rich and poor. Like Air, Water , education and freedom should also be available for all.

You are right about Child Slavery...Government has to invest more to make education available for all.. however at this point there are still options available but sadly some parents are more selfish and some kids are more careless.. ( I repeat not all of them ) but there are still options available.

When Govts fail & society finds it own solution to some social requirements like children are given work on road side tea stalls & easy - light jobs in the farms along side their parents ......

Of course forced marriage is a traditional slavery followed by people who exaggerate in the name of "Guardianship" and "Responsibility" by underestimating their own kids. I admire those parents who train their kids to "THINK" and enable them to make better decisions that those parents who don't want to allow their kids to think even after are so matured enough to marry.
