(Located in the south villages of Africa, captured by the Sudanese government). Abuk describes the terrifying raid and the subsequent decade she spent in slavery as the worst thing she’s every experienced. Hers is one of the few accounted for child slaveries, although there are millions of children caught up in modern-day slavery around the world.
