Slave trade and child labor are mostly in third world countries who have yet, or are barely into the industrial age. The US had similar problems during this time period. The exploitation of the poor is nothing new. Weeding out corruption, writing laws, enforcing those laws, and organized labor unions are the only solution. Though in a fragile economy, the cure is often as bad as the ill as far as jobs are concerned. How do you choose between exploitative work and none at all? Which is worse?

It's not just in third world countries, I read that in europe about 400.000 women are sold into prostitution every year, most of them are kidnapped from Russia or eastern europe and sold as prostitutes to western europe, they are often lured with promise of "regular" jobs, good pay and good life but find out they are in hell. They don't get paid and if they don't meet their "quota" for the the night they are punished...
If you want to see a scary movie find Forever Lilya. it's about a girl who gets into this and it's one of the scariest movie I've seen...
