Where's the Uproar over Modern Slavery?

[longknife]

ILO says over 20 million people working as slaves

Forced labor in the private economy generates billions of dollars in illegal profits per year. The figure rose to about three times more than previously estimated, according to a fresh ILO report.

And then the Deutsch-Welle article reports:

About 5.5 million of the victims are children. Asia-Pacific is home to more than half of forced workers worldwide, around 11.7 million people, who generate $51.8 billion each year for their exploitative employers. Africa is next in line with 3.7 million forced laborers, followed by Latin America and the Caribbean, with 1.8 million. An estimated 600,000 are forced to work in the Middle East.

And this does not include the tens of millions of women enslaved by religious laws and traditions. Read the full article @ ILO says over 20 million people working as slaves | Business | DW.DE | 20.05.2014

Student loan repayment is the modern equivalent of slavery, IMHO.

Religion is the most effective form of slavery.

Is there an iPhone app for monitoring the slaves that assembled it?

How can anything be changed or fixed if nobody knows about it?

Religion is the most effective form of slavery.

Satanism is the ultimate slavery, Ashtara. After that it's a double cross because Satans messengers - servants of Satan are expecting a promotion, or immorality here, a few demonic powers on loan until they suddenly find themselves in hell without any privledges. In fact the demons they can summon here on earth are the same ones that torment them in the pit. Yeah.

Its a real shock to find out the devil lied to them but hey! Who ever said he'd tell the truth. Right? So I agree with you if you are saying the religion of satanism is slavery but as for religions that are based on the love of God and scripture - no. That is freedom. Not slavery.

Not every religion produces good fruit. Look for the fruit. You'll know what you're dealing with by the fruit.

That would be a great discussion. What can be done? What can be done for the slaves in North Korea because believe it - they re enslaved to their evil communist leader - they are living like the holocaust victims. It is outrageous that these things are going on in the 21st century. 20 million slaves that we know of. What about all the slaves we don't know about? I am told there are more and more people being kidnapped into sex slavery in other nations. It's even happening in America.

So if the people who are in position of power know what is going on and don't care how do you confront that? Letters? Campaigns? Phone calls or forming Advocacy Groups? What else?

[Book of Jeremiah]

How many people are slaves who are sex slaves? How about children? There is an underground world of slavery people know little about. In Europe, America, Thailand, all over the world. The victims need a voice. Longknife is right. How will anyone know if people do not talk about it?

no

The responses to this thread demonstrate why real slavery isn't addressed as it should be. Too many people want to misuse the term for some hyperbolic bullshit. Real human beings suffering real slavery? That's not as important as making a dramatic rhetorical gesture.

It's disgusting...

no

Well that was certainly an intelligent, well-worded denunciation.

Thanks.

You really have no idea what you are talking about, lol. That sounds like some regurgitated filth you absorbed from some fantastical doomsday preacher on the street.
