slavery,
also sometimes known as modern

vulnerability
Estimates
of the number of enslaved people range from around 38 million to
49.6 million,
depending
on the method used to form the estimate and the definition of
slavery being used. The
estimated number of enslaved people is debated, as there is no
universally agreed definition of modern slavery; those
in slavery are often difficult to identify, and adequate
statistics are often not available. Evidently slavery has not
merely endured – it has thrived." Source
