Global Slavery Index is an index developed by Walk Free Foundation to measure the slavery in every country.
The Global Slavery Index provides rankings across three dimensions:
- Size of the problem: estimated prevalence in terms of percentage of the population and absolute numbers (by country)
- Government response: How governments are tackling the problem
- Vulnerability: Factors that explain or predict the prevalence.
A “Global Slavery Index” survey used by ILO also said that India has the highest number of men, women and children in “modern slavery”.
