GENEVA: Fifty million people around the world are trapped in forced labor or forced marriage, the UN said on Monday, warning that their ranks had swelled dramatically in recent years.

The United Nations had set a goal to eradicate all forms of modern slavery by 2030, but instead the number of people caught up in forced labor or forced marriage ballooned by 10 million between 2016 and 2021, according to a new report.
