Slavery in the Modern World
Though it occurs on a grandly global scale, there are still many who are unaware of the underground practices of human trafficking. In fact, the institution is so widespread that many individuals belittle its importance and simply regard it as a way of life: prostitution, in regards to sexual slavery and bondage.

In places like these, captives are brutalized and made to have intercourse with 10 to 25 customers every night. Meena, a girl who was kidnapped from a local village in India, met the same fate.
