Ethiopia: A landlocked nation, Ethiopia is a country with a low level of economic and social development, a poor human rights record and high rates of unemployment. Because of which, Ethiopians are at risk of various forms of modern slavery. This country has seen a rapid increase in outward migration, with millions of Ethiopians travelling throughout Africa and overseas, mostly to Gulf States and the Middle East, to find work. The increased migration of Ethiopians abroad has led to increased reports of abuse and exploitation of workers. In addition to the exploitation of Ethiopian migrant workers abroad, modern slavery is also an issue within Ethiopia, particularly for children.
The rest are India, China, Nigeria, Pakistan, Thailand, Russia, Myanmar, DRC and Bangladesh
