Global Slavery Index
Published By: Walk Free Foundation | Published Date: October, 17 , 2013Modern slavery includes slavery, slavery-like practices (such as debt bondage, forced marriage, and sale or exploitation of children), human trafficking and forced labour.
This is the first year of the Global Slavery Index. A key finding from this inaugural Index is that there are an estimated 29.8 million people enslaved around the world.
The Global Slavery Index provides a ranking of 162 countries, reflecting a combined measure of three factors:
estimated prevalence of modern slavery by population, a measure of child marriage, and a measure of human trafficking in and out of a country. The measure is heavily weighted to reflect the first factor, prevalence.
