    Yes....Philllapeans, Mexico and basically in nearly every wealthy country, including the USA.

    The face of slavery today are woman all around thecworld , forced into the sex trade. As young as 4 even and boys too. If you pay for sex odds are you're supporting slavery

    EDIT. "Started in Africa" Slavery is one of the worlds oldest professions, practiced in ancient Egypt to Rome, even among ancient native Americans so to blame it all on blacks in Africa or to even assume it started in Africa is EQUALLY AS STUPID as blaming America for slavery. Just saying

    Slavery is still alive today. In it`s most mild form, it can be found in the south of the U.S.. In a more extreme form, you will find that in China with the suicide nets surrounding their factories.
