Petition to End Modern-Day Slavery: The Amazing Change
"There are more slaves in the world today than during all 400 years of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade" - "It's estimated that 27 million people are in slavery around the world" - It is difficult to imagine that people in the world today are still bought and sold, bartered for and mistreated, but the plight of modern day slaves is all too real.No matter what our religious beliefs or political affiliation, we can all agree that children, women and men should not be treated this way. Please sign this short petition which will be presented to the U.N. as well as the U.S. and U.K. governments.
We, the undersigned, affirm the inherent dignity and worth of all people and the right of every child and adult to live free from slavery and involuntary servitude. We call upon world leaders to commit themselves to the abolition of slavery around the world. Let our signatures demonstrate our desire to see the emancipation of slaves and accountability for slave masters and others who benefit from the enslavement of people.
