Implied past tense of slavery as a phenomenon
No doubt it's unintentional, but the language of this article seems to reinforce subtly the idea that slavery is primarily a phenomenon of the past, rather than something that is occurring in various forms even in the present, and even in many countries where it has been formally banned (including the USA). This could (should?) be mentioned even in the very introduction of the article, and might even create a little spark to encourage further reading.
So glad to see this article appearing. This is a serious topic, and deserves attention. Thanks for getting it going!
