description: William Wilberforce's mission to abolish slavery is far from accomplished.It is to our shame that an estimated 27 million people (50% of all victims are children) in the world today still suffer from various forms of slavery, including prostitution, human trafficking and enforced labour amongst immigrants and the disadvantaged in cities from Britain to Burma.The statistics of modern day slavery are horrifying. Behind each statistic is a human being - a man, woman or child; behind each human is a family and a community which has been devastated or destroyed.Amazing Grace is a timely reminder that all are equal before their Creator. No person has the right to own another.
