Different Types of Slavery

Slavery thrives in the rug loom sheds of Nepal; the sex-slavery brothels of Manila, Thailand, Japan and the U.S.; the water-carrier chattel in Mauritania; the charcoal-making camps of Brazil; child prostitution in Ecuador; and child camel-jockey riding for the wealthy Sheikhs in United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar. Migrant trafficking exists for sexual labor throughout visa-free Canadian borders and into the U.S.A. Slavery exists in the garment manufacturing sweatshops of Los Angeles and New York, in the numerous sex clubs of St. Paul and Minneapolis, or domestic servitude in the wealthiest homes in Paris, London, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., just to name a few. Sex Slavery: Astonishingly, people can really buy and sell women and children and get away with it. Induced by force, fraud, coercion, and imprisonment, sex slavery is the fastest growing and most hideous form of modern day human bondage. Former Austrian figure skating champion Wolfgang Schwartz was sentenced in 2002 for trafficking women from Eastern Europe to Austria for forced prostitution. Sex slavery is growing fastest in Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. Several billions of dollars are paid and made through sexual exploitation such as forced prostitution, strip and lap dancing, pedophilia, ephebophilia, homosexuality, and the production of pornography by organized crime rings, gangsters, pimps, corrupt government officials and law enforcement ranks. This criminal and immoral activity results in the physical, mental, and spiritual abuse of millions of women and children each year worldwide. And, yes, even in these United States.
