Paragraph 1
Many of us think slavery is a
of the past. It isn't. A new report from the United Nations says there are about 50
people in modern-day slavery. This includes being trapped in forced labour or in forced
. The International Labour Organization (ILO) is an
of the UN. It created the report. The ILO said around one in 150 people in the world is enslaved in
way. This figure has increased by 20 per cent in the
few years. It is still growing. This is because of the coronavirus
, climate change, and the cost of living
. These things have made many people
or forced them into debt. The only way they can survive is to work in terrible
or be forced into unwanted marriages.
