Are there any countries that still have forced slavery?

Mauritania is the worst culprit by far showing that, amazingly, over 97% of its population is in forced labour, but there are others in the Indian sub-continent . In South Asia, bonded labor, sex trafficking and exploitative worker recruitmentis rife.

Even in Western Europe occasional cases of enslaved immigrants kept out of sight of the authorities come to light. Forced labour occurs as well in the Ivory Coast and the Gambon, and in other pockets of Africa.
