It's estimated that 40 percent
of the population of Mauritania, West Africa, is either living in slavery or has
a relative who is.
Let the Mauritanian Embassy
of the United States know that the practice of slavery is unacceptable.
»
Slavery in Mauritania is often passed down through generations, and
slaves are raised in a social and religious system that reinforces the
legitimacy of their situation everyday. Many slaves face beatings and
rape on a daily basis, and have no legal way to stop
it.
Mauritania criminalized the owning of slaves in 2007, but
anti-slavery activists say that very few "masters" are ever
prosecuted.
Join us in putting pressure on the Mauritanian government by
sending a message to the Mauritanian Embassy of the United States.
Tell Mauritania to prosecute
those who practice slavery. »
