Hi everyone, it’s Isaac!
Did you know that there are 27 million people in slavery around the world?
I drew some dinosaur pictures that you can buy to help me free as many slaves as
possible. There’s a neat website that I learned about called Free the Slaves :
Here are some facts:
Top 10 Facts About Modern Slavery
-Slavery: Forced to work without pay under threat of violence and unable to walk
away.

-Slavery is not legal anywhere but happens everywhere.
-The majority of slaves can be found in African and Indian countries.
-At least 14,500 slaves are trafficked in to the US each year.
-Slaves work in fields, brothels, homes, mines, restaurants - anywhere slave
owners can feed their greed.
-Human trafficking is the modern-day slave trade.

labor, attached labor, restavec,
forced labor, indentured servitude, and human trafficking.
