  I have no idea which is why I was trying to figure out if they count them or not. They reckon there are approx 60,000 slaves in the US which would only be a tiny percentage of the 2 million which does not seem to jibe with what else I have read about.

    Most of the slaves in western developed countries will be sex slaves - usually in the form of women lured from developing countries with false promises, who then have their passports revoked and are forceed to 'earn' them back, using sex work to pay off an extortionate sum. Edit: A woman was convicted of slavery in my hometown a few years back, but she won an appeal due to the differentiation in whether or not she thought she owned the people or saw herself as their employer. It was clearly exploitation, but was it legally slavery? That was what one her appeal. http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/sex-slave-owner-wins-conviction-appeal/2007/06/27/1182623975426.html http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/sex-slave-owner-wins-...
