I was a contemporary slave for ten years.
Geeze... I'm sorry to hear that. But what is a contemporary slave? I've never heard the term before.
It refers to slavery that exists in present day.
Ah okay, like the people who are making Nike shoes?
Something like that. There are between 21-46 million slaves today.
That's sad. I heard that a lot people making band name clothing are pretty much slaves also. Getting paid cents per day. 
Another term for slavery it trafficking in persons.
Yeah, it's a terrible thing. I hope the governments of each country can get rid of it comletely soon.
They did sign the Violence Protection Act of 2000.
Who? The USA or United Nations?
