A report by the Walk Free foundation states that about 50 million individuals <\/a>were victims of modern slavery globally in 2021, comprising 27.6 million forced laborers and 22 million forced marriages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"India<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With 11 million victims of contemporary slavery, India is one of the nations most impacted, and as such, it is a major target of international efforts to end slavery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

India Has 11 Million Victims of Contemporary Slavery<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women and girls make up 54% of victims of contemporary slavery and over 12 million children, making them disproportionately vulnerable populations along with migrants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compared to non-migrant workers, migrant workers are three times more likely to be subjected to forced labor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All countries are victims of modern slavery; over half of forced labor instances and 25% of forced marriages take place in high- or upper-middle-income nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The number of individuals in modern slavery has increased by 10 million since 2016. This growth has been caused by a multitude of factors, including environmental destruction, conflict, the erosion of democracy, and the COVID-19 epidemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Global Slavery Index monitors the presence, causes, and responses of governments to contemporary slavery in 160 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contemporary Slavery Most Common in These 10 Countries<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 10 nations where contemporary slavery is most common are North Korea, Eritrea, Mauritania, Saudi Arabia, T\u00fcrkiye, Tajikistan, United Arab Emirates, Russia, Afghanistan, Kuwait<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Political instability, violence, authoritarianism, and a lack of adequate protection for human rights and civil freedoms are common problems among these nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The kafala system, which limits migrant workers’ labor rights, exposes them to systematic abuse in countries like Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conflict, as seen in North Korea, Eritrea, and Afghanistan, raises the likelihood of forced labor and forced marriage due to instability and decreased legal protections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corporations have faced accountability for forced labor in countries like Eritrea, with judicial actions highlighting the role of businesses in sustaining exploitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the fact that slavery was abolished in Mauritania in 1981, the country still has a significant prevalence of hereditary slavery that affects groups like the Afro-Mauritanians and the Haratine, and anti-slavery laws are not strictly enforced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A large portion of the worldwide total is also contributed by other populous nations including China, Pakistan, and Russia, many of whom are G20 members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
