In the 21st century, the term "modern day slavery" may evoke images of a bygone era, but the harsh reality is that slavery still exists in various forms across the globe, including in Africa.

Despite significant progress in many areas, modern-day slavery continues to persist, casting a shadow over efforts to promote and protect human rights.

Forms of Modern Day Slavery

Modern day slavery encompasses a range of forms, as identified by Walk Free, an international human rights group dedicated to ending modern slavery.

These forms include forced labor, forced or servile marriage, debt bondage, forced commercial sexual exploitation, human trafficking, slavery-like practices, and the sale and exploitation of children.

Modern Day Slavery In Africa

In Africa, modern slavery manifests in diverse contexts. Examples include domestic servitude, particularly affecting young girls, and forced labor in industries such as mining, agriculture, and fishing.

These practices not only violate basic human rights but also hinder social and economic development in affected regions.

Global Estimates and the Global Slavery Index

According to the latest Global Estimates of Modern Slavery, approximately 50 million people worldwide are considered modern-day slaves.

These estimates, compiled by the International Labour Organization (ILO), Walk Free, and the International Organization for Migration (IOM), form the basis for Walk Free's Global Slavery Index (GSI).

The GSI provides national estimates of modern slavery for 160 countries, enabling comparisons between countries and regions.

That 7.8 is a reflection of how much the Fulanis having colonized the Hausas

I known my country, I known the three tribe that start with the letter H, Y, I, They have the highest number of citizens with slavery mentality expecially H and Y, I depend on how much their slave master is willing to offer.

The 99% of the 7.8 points recorded for Nigeria come from south southeast. Even internationally it's now known that Igbo are the Osu of Nigeria. Little think they would start crying about marginalization and call the UN, the EU, ECOWAS, OPEC, and everybody callable.
