The Global Slavery Index

The Global Slavery Index is a measurement tool that estimates how many people around the world are living in conditions of modern slavery, including forced labor and human trafficking. It assesses countries' prevalence of slavery, often expressed as a percentage of their population, and analyzes factors like laws, governance, and economic conditions that contribute to these practices. By providing data and comparisons, the index aims to raise awareness and inform efforts to combat and prevent slavery globally. It is one of the most comprehensive sources used to understand and address this serious human rights issue.
