Social Impact: Eradicating Modern Slavery- Kellee Marlow & Andrew Wallis

SUMMARY

Over 40 million people are caught in modern slavery worldwide. 1 out of 4 of them are children. It is a $150 billion dollar industry and it is bigger than the drug trade because each person can be purchased more than once. How does it exist and thrive? What can we do about modern slavery?
