A survey by anti-slavery campaign group Walk Free says nearly 4.5 million people worldwide, as slaves. The group's Global Slavery Index says India has the most slaves overall and Mauritania has the highest percentage. Walk Free Foundation says it found evidence of slavery in 167 countries it surveyed. The report defines slaves as people subject to forced labour, debt bondage, trafficking, sexual exploitation for money and forced or servile marriage. The report says Africa and Asia face the biggest challenges in eradicating slavery, while the practice is least prevalent in Europe. To discuss this we are joined on the line by:
