Many people are aware that William Wilberforce, Abraham Lincoln, and the many others who supported them in their abolitionist efforts last century succeeded in eliminating contemporary slavery from our globe. Nonetheless, human trafficking is still a problem today and is spreading rapidly. Actually, there are more people in slavery today than there were when we first believed that human trafficking had disappeared. This scourge on humanity has grown as a result of a number of evolutionary variables in our contemporary society's systems.
