Modern slavery does not happen in certain countries or cities, and movement does not have to take place for a person to be exploited.  Human trafficking is part of modern slavery and usually, but not always, involves the transportation of a person from one place to another for the purpose of being exploited.

Throughout the world today, there are over 50 million of people who are living in situations where they are caught in exploitation and slavery.   Millions of people are 'on the move' and trying to find safety and shelter for themselves and their loved ones, and often fall into the hands of criminals who will trick them and exploit them.
