Nothing will be done because those who can do something dont ant to. The do not want to address what is obvious. If they ignore it, it will be as if it does not exist. Just like so much in LOS...dont address it so it does not exist. And continue to smile...

all depnds on your definition of slavery....me thinks there is quite a bit of exagerration.

Well, as mentioned in the article this is the definition this group is using

"The index, which will be published annually, attempts to measure of the extent of modern slavery country by country, placing a figure on the number of victims subjected to human trafficking, forced labour and debt bondage across the world.

...

Researchers behind the index found victims of modern slavery in Thailand are predominantly migrant workers from Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia, while Thai women are particularly vulnerable to trafficking into the forced domestic and sex industries around the world."
