Modern slavery: The tip of the iceberg

It would take ten ships like the Titanic to carry the EU’s 30,000 trafficked Europeans, these are the ones we actually know about. Liberty does not have a name. He is hidden. She is destitute. Migrants, some forced, some initially willing, are bound by fear to captors driven only by greed. This is Europe; not 17th Century Europe, but the modern day. Slavery is alive. As ghost ships sell souls across the Mediterranean, what we have on our horizon is only the tip of the iceberg.
