Slavery

Are you aware that today there are over 27 million slaves in our world? Did you know that this number far exceeds the amount of slaves at the time when America used slaves, a time when slavery was public? This greatly upsets me. If we, the majority of people in the world, are so against slavery, the mistreatment of human beings, we should have eradicated it a long time ago. So why are there more slaves now than there were at the time when there were thousands of people fighting against it? I believe it is because we have become unaware to what is going on in the world. We think the war ended in the 1800's. I think we need our eyes to be opened to what is really happening, and not only do we need to be aware, but we need to do something about it.
What do you guys think?
