200 years after the abolition of slavery (on 25 March 1807, the "Abolition of the Slave Trade Act" was passed in Britain) and nearly 60 years after it was prohibited by the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights, there are still slaves (bonded labour due to debts), there are people who are treated like slaves (servants, child labour, forced labour & trafficking of prostitutes, ill-treated immigrants, sweatshop workers, prisoners working in farms) and there are also people who think like slaves - slaves to religion & slaves to money & fame.
This must change. Not all "traditions" & "local customs" need to be preserved & respected.
