No slaves in Iran or Arabia?
Rounding out the top 10 are Burundi, the Central African Republic, Afghanistan, Mauritania, South Sudan, Pakistan, Cambodia and Iran.

The abuses (at the personal and family and individual levels) remains very, very common. Not the majority, but very common.
None from Elbonia.
