The Hotspots Of Modern Slavery
New Covenant Network News ^ | 12-7-2021

Approximately 10.5 percent of North Korea‘s population including migrant workers and human trafficking victims are categorized as modern slaves according to data by the Walk Free Foundation.

While this only amounts to roughly seven percent of the grand total of estimated modern slaves around the world, Statista’s Florian Zandt points out that only one other country in the world comes close to this population share size as our chart shows.

With 9.3 percent or an estimated number of 451,000 modern slaves, the African country of Eritrea comes in second on the ranking analyzing data from 2018. While Pakistan only has a population share of 1.7 percent living in slave-like conditions, it actually ranks third in the world when looking at the total number of people suffering under forced labor or forced marriage per country after China and India.

The Walk Free Foundation categorizes modern slaves as victims of workplace abuse, debt bondage, forced marriage and sex trafficking among other factors.

Since it’s nearly impossible to get concrete numbers, the non-profit modeled its analysis on data from Gallup polls in 48 countries as well as evaluations of individual- and country-level risk factors like armed conflicts, governance issues including labor laws, lack of basic needs, the state of disenfranchised groups like migrants and women as well as general inequality levels in the countries included in its report.

Those lives don’t matter according to the extremely oppressed by comparison people living in the U.S. For some of them, the best they can hope for is welfare, free medical care, and food cards.

Not too many white majority nations on that list. I guess slavery is not driven by White Supremacy.

Islam has a bit to do with it.

“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”

They skip over Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia imports slaves from a lot of those countries on the list. They also trick Filipino women into becoming household servants.

Thanks for posting this link. I was starting to look for it when I saw your post.

A few notable quotes:

“Mauritania’s Arabic-speaking Arab-Berber elite, an exclusionary and predatory group that self-identifies as White (Bidan), ruthlessly dominates the country’s state and economy. They represent, at most, 30% of the population. “

“...enslaved Blacks make up 40% of the population.”

“In general, all Blacks in Mauritania are referred to as ‘Abd, ‘Abid (slave, slaves).”
