The group's Global Slavery Index says India :
has the most slaves overall and Mauritania has the highest percentage.
The total is 20% higher than for 2013 because of better methodology..

It uses slavery in a modern sense of the term, rather than as a reference to the broadly
outlawed traditional practice where people were held in bondage :
and treated as another person's property.
The report defines slaves as people subject to forced labour, debt bondage, trafficking,
sexual exploitation for money and forced or servile marriage......

Walk Free says it found evidence of slavery in all 167 countries it surveyed.
The report says Africa and Asia face the biggest challenges in eradicating slavery,
while the practice is least prevalent in Europe.
