⛓️ Slavery Still Exists ⛓️ Share to Raise Awareness ⛓️ Tragic: Teens kept in chains until sold ⛓️ Libya has been a major transit point for African migrants heading to Europe since the fall of Gaddafi in 2011. Armed militias, smugglers, and traffickers exploit the chaos: Migrants (including many women and children from sub-Saharan Africa) are kidnapped, held in makeshift detention centers or "warehouses," tortured for ransom, or sold into forced labor, domestic servitude, or sexual exploitation. Reports from the UN, IOM (International Organization for Migration), Amnesty International, and CNN have documented "slave markets" where people are auctioned for as little as $400. Children are especially vulnerable — used for labor, begging, or worse. Restraining them with ropes/nets is a common control tactic in these camps.
