A lot of people think slavery is a thing of the past. A relic of a gone by era. The reality is that slavery still affects almost 30 million people today.
By far the country with the most slaves is India. By most counts, there are almost 14 million slaves just there. The country of Mauritania has the highest rate, with 4% of the population enslaved.
Even the US is not exempt, as estimates peg the slave count in the US at 59,000. Experts believe that the number of enslaved people in rich countries is 6 to 10 times higher than most people believe.
