Answer:

1. Modern slavery differs from historical slavery in several ways: There are more slaves than ever before, but they are a smaller proportion of the human race. No-one seriously defends slavery any more. Slavery is illegal everywhere and so requires corruption and crime to continue.

2. As the bloody war waged on, Lincoln issued his Emancipation Proclamation of 1863, calling for the freeing of enslaved people in areas of the rebellion. And in 1865, the Constitution was ratified to include the Thirteenth Amendment, which officially abolished all forms of slavery in the United States.

3. Heres a lil list:

Poverty. One of the most common causes of modern day slavery is poverty. ...

Lack Of Education. Education is one of the major influencers of modern day slavery. ...

Migration. ...

Female Exploitation. ...

Domestic Work. ...

Commercial Sex Work. ...

Forced Begging. ...

Agriculture.

4. Volunteer and support anti-trafficking efforts in your community. Meet with and/or write to your local, state, and federal elected officials to let them know you care about combating human trafficking and ask what they are doing to address it. Be well-informed.

5. Challenges faced by victims of human trafficking:

Fear of repercussion, law enforcement, and government. May not know they are victims according to state and federal laws. Hindered by a lack of awareness and shared understanding of what constitutes human trafficking. – Potentially more awareness of sex trafficking than labor trafficking.
