    nothing have changed socially ... indeed very sad ...

    There are more slaves today than were seized from Africa in four centuries of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. The modern commerce in humans rivals illegal drug trafficking in its global reach—and in the destruction of lives.

    Today, 27 million men, women and children are held, sold and trafficked as slaves throughout the world. In Slavery: A 21st Century Evil, Rageh Omaar embarks on a worldwide journey to uncover the truth about the flourishing 21st century slave trade. Episode by episode, his investigation will expose the brutal reality of modern slavery and unpick the reasons why this age-old evil persists.

    This is happening on Planet Earth ...the leaders and governments know about it but do they care.
    These girls need food, clothing and education to get out of poverty ...yer the leaders and governments spend millions on space travel...yet some of the rich temples in India are loaded with wealth...yet the wealthy of India enjoy high living instead of helping the poor...what a sad state of affairs..very sad
