Summary:
"Over the last two decades, fighting modern slavery and human trafficking has become a cause célèbre. Policies to fight modern slavery are championed by right- and left-wing governments. Multi-national corporations host panels about fighting modern slavery at the World Economic Forum, United Nations summits, and rock music festivals. A motley civil society coalition of anti-slavery activists, students, churches, and conservative antifeminist organizations have banded together to eradicate slavery with an arsenal ranging from "slave raids" to awareness-raising campaigns. This coalition has spent billions of dollars on projects that promise to end slavery in our lifetime"-- Provided by publisher
