Israel has as many as 8,500 slaves, according to a new comprehensive study of worldwide slavery by the Global Slavery Index<http://d3mj66ag90b5fy.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/GlobalSlaveryIndex_2013_Download_WEB1.pdf> .
The trend in Israel is driven by the sex trade and the human trafficking that comes with it. There are 15,000 prostitutes in Israel, Rebecca Hughes from ATZUM’s Task Force on Human Trafficking wrote in The Times of Israel<http://blogs.timesofisrael.com/hookers-in-the-holy-land-an-uncomfortable-history-in-israel/>, entering the profession at an average age of 14. “By the 1990′s Israel was established as a destination country for trafficking, and international sex trafficking victims had replaced the local market,” Hughes wrote. “Israel’s flesh trade was booming and making between half a billion to three quarters of a billion dollars a year. It was a particularly desirable market for traffickers because the purchase of sexual services was, and still is, legal in Israel. ” “Throughout the 1990’s traffickers acted with impunity and, according to the Hotline for Migrant Workers, smuggled 3,000 women annually into Israel,” she added. The deteriorating situation led the US State Department to rank Israel as a Tier 3 nation in its Trafficking in Persons report, the lowest ranking. Tier 3 nations faced potential economic sanctions. The report was a wake-up call for Israel’s government, which passed a comprehensive anti-trafficking law, and was upgraded to a Tier 1 state. According to the index, there are nearly 30 million people trapped in slavery around the world. The study defined slavery as “the possession and control of a person in such a way as to significantly deprive that person of his or her individual liberty, with the intent of exploiting that person through their use, management, profit, transfer or disposal. Usually this exercise will be achieved through means such as violence or threats of violence, deception and/or coercion.” It relied on secondary sources for its study, especially reports from media, NGOs, and governments. It also used local surveys and interviews. In absolute numbers, India led the list with up to 14.7 million slaves, followed by China and Pakistan. Mauritania, with 3.8 million inhabitants and over 150,000 slaves, had the highest prevalence of slavery. Ireland, Iceland, and the UK enjoy the lowest prevalence of slavery, the survey said. The Walk Free Foundation is a nonprofit that seeks to end modern slavery, according to its website. The organization was founded in May 2012 by Australian metal magnate Andrew Forrest, who first became aware of the problem when his teen-aged daughter worked alongside slaves at a Nepalese orphanage.
