Ten Million People Enslaved Worldwide Says Antislavery Leader
Col Patrick Montgomery of the Anti Slavery Society warned at a New York briefing that about ten million people live in bondage across 30 countries. He urged the United Nations to enforce its 1956 slavery convention and create a knowledge body to tackle the issue. He cited chattel slavery, harems, and slave labor from Polynesia to South America as ongoing problems and faulted new nations for sensitivity in addressing them.
