Slavery Now and in the Future

Today, incredibly, 30 million people around the world are living as slaves, reflecting double standards between the rich and poor countries. And there are also 160 million missing women worldwide. In Thailand alone there are 472,000 in slavery prostitution, many having HIV.

Slavery is illegal in every country in the modern world, but it still exists. Even within the narrowest definition of slavery, it is likely that there are far more slaves now than there were victims of the Atlantic slave trade.

Gillian Kaile, an expert in this field, will reveal the shocking nature and the dire prospects for this dark inhuman activity which is still practised around the world.

Having signed the Official Secrets Act, Gillian Kaile worked for the government and then in the City of London. She ran MENSA at Trinity College Cambridge, the international conference for the high IQ Society. She also is a councillor for a pension fund, and a Freeman and Liveryman of The City of London.
