However, there is no literal slavery, and we recognize the rights of all people, even if we dont always act on those beliefs.

Unfortunately this is not true. People may not use the word slavery but it still exists. There have been television reports recently from West Africa about a practice of giving young girls into slavery to satisfy debts or adjudicate disputes. These issues used to be resolved with livestock and are now being settled with children. There also seems to be a practice of kidnapping small male children from the Indian sub continent to act as camel jockies (not a sick joke) in the gulf. I am sure this is not the limit of such vile practices. But sadly slavery still exists and is not yet a thing of the past.
