Modern-Day Slavery Location: China
In this modern-day slavery location, an estimated 3,388,400 individuals are victims of modern slavery, according to reports.
Forced and child labor is one of the most significant issues in the region, and it’s a subject that made headlines in 2007 after officials rescued 450 captives, some of whom were children as young as 14 years old, who had been forced to work up to 20 hours daily with no pay in brick kilns.
Many were burned, beaten, and barely given enough food to survive. The trafficking of children and women into forced marriages and trafficking is also a massive issue, according to the GSI.
Female immigrants who reach out to others for support are especially at risk of being privately sold as brides.
In fact, an estimated 30,000 North Korean women were living in China and tolerating various kinds of slavery in 2012, according to The Christian Science Monitor reports.

Anybody who has a job and are having taxes withheld from working are slaves. Stop pretending it only happens to other countries or African Americans. It is all of us who work every day just to live paycheck to paycheck. While our government takes all it can and just leaving you enough to live day to day. Never being able to enjoy anything in life. I never been on vacation, and I am 54 years old and worked most of my life. Open your eyes.
