See, I have a really hard time buying this line of bullshite, unless the definition of "slavery" they are using is so ambiguous that they can shoehorn whoever they want into it.

This is not some softened, by-modern-standards definition of slavery. These 30 million people are living as forced laborers, forced prostitutes, child soldiers, child brides in forced marriages and, in all ways that matter, as pieces of property, chattel in the servitude of absolute ownership.

i know those 2 are probably not a significant chunk, but that's not really "slavery"

and yeah a lot of the forced laborer slavery, esp outside of africa, is contractual indenture servitude more than "slavery"
