In the report, India has the highest number of estimated slaves with 13.9 million, followed by China with 2.9 million and Pakistan with 2.1 million. Today some people are still being born into hereditary slavery, a staggering but harsh reality, particularly in parts of West Africa and South Asia, the report said, according to Reuters. Other victims are captured or kidnapped before being sold or kept for exploitation, whether through marriage, unpaid labour on fishing boats, or as domestic workers. Others are tricked and lured into situations they cannot escape, with false promises of a good job or an education. foxnews/world/2013/10/17/mauritania-haiti-pakistan-top-charity-new-global-index-on-modern-slavery/?intcmp=obnetwork
