These slaves are bought and sold freely every day. There are few laws to ban slavery, and the existing laws are totally ignored by the sellers and buyers of slaves. While slavery is banned in most places, if the Mayor or Mayoress of the town agrees to buying and selling of slaves on certain days, no government law can stop it.
Most people believe that slavery no longer exists.
This is not true. Modern-day slavery does not fit our images of shackles, whips and auctions. Modern forms of human bondage include forced labour, servile marriage and child labour. There are many organisations fighting against this terrible crime, even in places, like America and the United Kingdom, where there is no slavery only racism. If you visit the American Anti-Slavery Organisation site, will find more information about this terrrible issue.
