Introduction
The enormity of the problem of enslavement of fellow humans is a worldwide problem that manifests as forced labour, forced marriage, forced prostitution, organ harvest, human sacrifice and in many other forms. The International Labour Organisation Report 2017 estimates that there are forty million victims of modern slavery in the world. It is most prevalent in Africa, with 7.6 per 1000 people becoming victims. Rampant poverty is one of the drivers of modern slavery.
