Spreading Knowledge about Modern Slavery in Mauritania and Beyond
Location
Mauritania was the last country in the world to abolish slavery, which it outlawed in 1981. The practice is rooted in the country’s caste-based society. The Haratin people, one of the country’s largest ethnic groups, are still considered a slave caste in many parts of the country. According to the 2018 Global Slavery Index, an estimated 90,000 people are still living in modern slavery out of a total population of 4.1 million.
