Types of slavery that still exist
Bonded Labor-  This is the one affects millions around the world.  It is most common is South East Asia, Bonded labor is when someone takes- or is tricked into taking- a loan that they will not be able to pay off.  So to pay off the loan, they have to work and most of the time they have to work so much it is passed down to their children.
Child Slavery-  This affects millions of children around the world- including the USA- and includes the wordt form of child labor, and child trafficking.
Early and Forced Marriages-  This mainly affects women and girls, where they are forced into marriages and servitude for the rest of their lives.
Forced Labor-  This is when people are illegally recruited by individuals to do forced labor under the threat of harm.
Decent-Based Slavery-  This is when people are born into a slave class
Trafficking-  When people are brought across borders to be forced into slavery
