Summarise the key points… A slave is someone who is forced to work 24.7 with no or little pay under the threat of violence Almost every country on the globe, excluding Greenland and Iceland have more than 500,000 reported slaves. The reasons slaves exist now are because of four main reasons, the population boom, the occurrences of events such as civil wars, natural disasters etc. that makes people feel vulnerable and weak, corrupt governments and there is no rule of law protecting slaves. The reason people become slaves is because either someone offers them a job but turns out there were enslaving them or it because they are a victim of heditary slavery. To stop slavery, they cannot just buy them from the slaveholder as that would be pointless and they may return to slavery again. To properly free slaves they must perform liberation, which is not to buy the slaves and to give them services like education, healthcare etc. to prevent them from becoming slaves again The global estimated cost of free all the slaves it approximately 10.8 billion dollars, on a global scale, that amount is minute.

My Summary of the article This article was talking about the slave trade in the world today. A slave is someone who is forced to work with little or no pay under the threat of violence Today there are more slaves in the world compared to past human history. This is mainly because of three reasons, the population boom, lack of security during events like civil wars, natural disasters and corrupt governments. This three factors makes people slaves. This organization wishes to spot slavery in it’s tracks by performing liberation, which is to free a slave but not buying him off the slaveholder then they will provide services like education, healthcare etc. to make sure they do not walk down the path of slavery again
