- Think Human!Zeeshan, Nottingham The only way to stop slavery in the industrialised world is to remove the money made from it. No police force or government can do this; it's up the global population to stop purchasing the services and wares supplied by this abhorrent practice.very time we buy the cheapest goods we can find we are contributing to continuing slavery. Find out where things are made and how they are made. Don't keep passing the buck. It won't get rid of all slavery but it will help and you won't be blindly supporting it.
