Part One: The Extent of the Problem and Various Forms of Modern-Day Slavery

By the time you have completed this information-packed course you will have a thorough grounding in the ongoing issue of modern-day slavery: the extent of the problem, different types of slavery, primary targets, typical ways that traffickers operate, the sad lives victims of the slave trade lead, and some suggestions for what we can do to combat the problem and help the victims.

Many people are surprised that we are still talking about slavery and human trafficking – after all, didn’t we deal with them ages ago? Worse, many people don’t want to hear about it. The subject is so spooky, and so revolting, that we would like to think that humankind has put it behind us. Wishful thinking.

Slavery is still very much with us. Even though it has been outlawed almost everywhere, there are more slaves on earth right now than in any time in human history: at least 21 million, according to the International Labor Organization (ILO); State Department estimates are higher, between 25 and 30 million. That is equivalent to the entire population of the Republic of Malaysia – or, perhaps more to the point – the population of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. (The difference results from using slightly different criteria, and also from the fact that it is impossible to maintain entirely accurate statistics. As a rule, slave traders do not submit monthly reports to the Department of Labor.) No matter how you slice it, however, it is a lot of people whose dreams have gone up in smoke, who have just become numbers in an inventory, and whose lives have been utterly destroyed. Traffickers don’t care, because they are making money. Piles of money. It is an extremely lucrative multi-billion dollar international industry, largely controlled by organized crime.

In addition to the millions of people who are enslaved in their own country, between 600,000 and 800,000 people are trafficked across international boundaries every year! There is no other way to describe this than the modern-day slave trade. (Estimates once again are from the U.S. Department of State.)

Nancy Hartwell grew up in Tampa, Florida, earned a degree in International Relations from The American University in Washington, D.C., and married a prominent attorney from the African country of Cameroon. She is an internationally recognized authority on human trafficking, most particularly, the 21st Century slave trade focused on the oil-rich countries of the Persian Gulf. She is currently hard at work on a movie script.
