The third Global Slavery Index looks at how many people are born into servitude, trafficked for sex work, or trapped in debt bondage or forced labour. Since the 2014 study, the estimated number of people living in modern slavery around the world has increased from 35.8 million to 45.8 million. Australian mining magnate Andrew Forrest has challenged political and business leaders to work together to abolish modern slavery. His Walk Free Foundation has estimated more than 45 million people globally are now living as slaves. Nila Liu and Lili Zhou report.
