* '''Slavery did not end with abolition in the 19th century. Instead, it changed its forms and continues to harm people in every country in the world.''' Whether they are women forced into prostitution, men forced to work in agriculture or construction, children in sweatshops or girls forced to marry older men, their lives are controlled by their exploiters, they no longer have a free choice and they have to do as they’re told. They are in slavery. [[W:Modern slavery|Today slavery]] is less about people literally owning other people – although that still exists – but more about being exploited and completely controlled by someone else, without being able to leave. [...] Many people think that slavery happens only overseas, in developing countries. In fact, '''no country is free from modern slavery,''' even Britain. The Government estimates that there are tens of thousands people in modern slavery in the UK.
