"Slavery is a silent crime. Victims don’t come forward. In the EU the number of convictions for human trafficking has dropped by 13 per cent in the past few years; the latest U.S. data show that only 7,705 prosecutions took place in 2012, though the number of identified victims reached 46,570. In Canada, as of February 2013, there were 77 ongoing human trafficking prosecutions. In 2012 only 27 convictions took place, 12 in 2011.
Some victims don’t see themselves as such, especially victims of sexual exploitation, who tend to develop a psychological dependence on their abuser. Victims of domestic slavery are often foreigners who cannot leave the house or speak the local language. Others are simply afraid to seek help.
The courage of Leticia Sarmiento, the Filipino nanny at the centre of therecent landmark human-trafficking case in British Columbia is direct evidence that justice can be achieved when victims of human trafficking speak out."

Tim, you need to figure out what slavery represents.
