An estimated 50 million people are now living in modern slavery - up 10 million since 2016 – according to the 2021 Global Estimates of Modern Slavery, released by the International Labour Organisation, Walk Free and the International Organisation for Migration on Monday.
Modern slavery is defined as severe exploitation that a person cannot leave due to threats, violence or deception. It includes forced labour, sexual exploitation, debt bondage, forced marriage, slavery, and human trafficking.

Almost three quarters (71%) are women and girls.
