Dr Michal Carrington is a Senior Lecturer in Marketing and a consumer behaviour expert. “Right now, there are thought to be around 40 million people in slavery around the world. This is more than any other time in human history, and the majority are women and girls. In fact, slavery in the 21st century is a major hurdle if we want to tackle global gender inequality; the same factors that cause women to hold less power in society are the same ones that make them vulnerable to enslavement.” #IWD2020 #InternationalWomensDay #EachForEqual
