Slavery’s last stronghold

Is this really the 'last stronghold' of slavery, or is it the last place where slavery isn't hidden away from prying eyes and is somewhat accepted.

From what I understand human trafficking and slavery are alive and well.

As I recall [1], Mauritania is the last stronghold of old-style slavery, where people legally own other people. There are many other kinds of slavery which involve people being held captive.

That said, read the article, its very interesting.
