Actor Russell Crowe hosts the launch of the Global Slavery Index at the Shard in London, Tuesday, May 31, 2016. The Global Slavery Index for 2016 found slavery remains an issue all over the world, but Asia is the worst offender. North Korea had the highest prevalence with 4.37% of its population enslaved, followed by Uzbekistan at 3.97% and Cambodia with 1.65%. The report hailed the UK as having "led the world" in its anti-slavery strategy. The 2015 Modern Slavery Act toughened up laws and increased the sentence for the worst offenders to life imprisonment.
