When Christel Wallace found a piece of paper folded up at the bottom of her purse in March 2017, she threw it in the trash. She hadn’t yet used the maroon bag, made by Walmart and purchased from one of its Arizona stores months ago.

But after a few minutes, she got curious. She took the paper out of the wastebasket, unfolding the sheet to reveal a message scrawled in Mandarin Chinese.

Translated, it read: Inmates in China’s Yingshan Prison work 14 hours a day and are not allowed to rest at noon. We have to work overtime until midnight. People are beaten for not finishing their work. There’s no salt and oil in our meals. The boss pays 2,000 yuan every month for the prison to offer better food, but the food is all consumed by the prison guards. Sick inmates have to pay for their own pills. Prisons in China cannot be compared to prisons in the United States. Horse, cow, goat, pig, dog.

Christel’s daughter-in-law Laura Wallace posted a photo of the note to Facebook on April 23. The post first went viral locally, getting shared and liked several hundred times, mostly by fellow Arizonans. After a few days, local media outlets picked up the story; a week or so after that, dozens of mainstream publications like USA Today and HuffPost followed suit. One video report on the incident accumulated 2.9 million views.

O Índice Global de Escravidão (2016) estima que 45,8 milhões de homens, mulheres e crianças são escravizados em todo o mundo, inclusive na Austrália, onde há 4.300 pessoas vivendo em escravidão moderna. Na Austrália, os proprietários de escravos estão usando as pessoas contra sua vontade para seu próprio lucro ou vantagem. Às vezes as pessoas estão escondidas atrás de portas fechadas; às vezes eles estão escondidos à vista de todos.

A Sydney couple was recently charged with modern-day slavery and sentenced to several years jail for holding a Filipina woman as a slave. For three years, the couple forced the woman to work in their home and business without pay.

The woman was invited to Australia by the wife to work as a nanny and housekeeper. When her tourist visa expired, the couple told her she could not return to the Philippines as she had to repay the cost of them bringing her to the country.

She was told never to leave the home on her own or talk to anyone outside the family. Disobeying these instructions would lead to her being punished.

Police eventually discovered the woman and prosecuted the couple with the modern-day slavery charge of forced labour. They pleaded guilty and faced a maximum sentence of nine.
