A new study from an Australian-based human rights group reports that nearly 30 million people worldwide are living in slavery-like conditions, with almost half of them in India. The study is the first-ever global index on slavery, and tracks forced labor, human trafficking, and the sale of children, among other abuses. We discuss modern day slavery worldwide, and what forms of slavery and human trafficking exist here in the Bay Area.
