How are there high income people in slavery, that doesn't make sense to me

[-] Haagel 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The UN sponsored report uses a pretty liberal definition of slavery to include things like wage theft (which forces workers to stay at a job until they're fully compensated), sex trafficking, and domestic servitude where the servant's documents are confiscated so that they can't flee.

However, there's still a hell of a lot whips and chains slavery in Africa and South East Asia. Those slaves serve the excavation and manufacturing industries.
