Report: 46 Million People are Modern Slaves

More than 45 million people around the world are trapped in modern slavery - a third more than previously thought, a major new report has found.
They are being trafficked and forced to work as prostitutes, domestic servants or enslaved in debt bondage and compelled to toil away in factories and farms, according to the study.
The 2016 Global Slavery Index found there to be many more "modern slaves" than previously recognized, with nearly two-thirds of the global total in Asia.
Modern slavery was found in all 167 countries in the index.
