- fredley 8y agoIn many places in the World, we're not removed from it. Slavery is still an issue almost everywhere, even in the United States[1], it's just that it now takes the form mostly of domestic slavery and sex trafficking. Other parts of the World still openly practice forced marriage and bonded labour. 1: http://www.endslaverynow.org/learn/slavery-today/domestic-servitude http://www.endslaverynow.org/learn/slavery-today/domestic-se...
