The Problem
What slavery looks like today
More people are enslaved today than at any other time in history. Whole families are forced to make bricks by hand, sometimes for 16 hours a day, to pay off a debt that never goes away.
When a parent dies, the debt doesn't. The children inherit it.

What Most People Get Wrong
The Truth About Modern-Day Slavery
Slavery looks nothing like what most people picture. Here's what's actually happening.
These myths keep people from seeing the crisis clearly.
MYTH 01
“Slavery ended a long time ago.”
Common misconception
Reality
It never ended. Around 50 million people are enslaved today, more than any point in history.
MYTH 02
“Sex trafficking only looks like prostitution or abductions.”
Common misconception
Reality
The majority of girls in brick kilns are sexually exploited before their first menstrual cycle.
MYTH 03
“People who are enslaved can just leave.”
Common misconception
Reality
Most can't. A small loan grows into a debt that can't be paid. When a parent dies, the children inherit it.
