Pakistan ranks third in the Global Slavery Index. It is estimated that there
are 2,000,000 – 2,200,000 people involved in various forms of modern slavery in
Pakistan. Pakistan counts a population of 179, 000,000 people and with the
increasing birth rate the number of enslaved people will consequently
escalate.
