GENEVA Anthony Zettel Youth Jersey , Sept. 19 (Xinhua) -- An estimated 40 million people are today trapped in modern slavery, mostly women and girls, and 152 million children are subject to child labor, almost one in ten around the world, a latest UN report revealed on Tuesday.


The new research, developed jointly by the International Labor Organization (ILO), the Walk Free Foundation, and the International Organization for Migration (IOM), has revealed the true scale of modern slavery around the world.


The data, released during the UN General Assembly, shows that among the 40 million people trapped in modern slavery, 29 million, or 71 percent, are women and girls. One in four victims of modern slavery are children, which totals about 10 million.


Meanwhile, some 152 million children, including 64 million girls and 88 million boys, are subject to child labor, accounting for almost one in ten children around the world, the report says. The largest part of them, or 72.1 million, are living in Africa, followed by Asia and the Pacific with 62 million, the Americas with 10.7 million, Europe and Central Asia with 5.5 million, and the Arab States with 1.2 million.


More than 70 percent of child laborers remains in agriculture, while a little over 17 percent work in the services sector and almost 12 percent in industry.


"The message... is very clear," says ILO Director-General Guy Ryder, "the world won't be in a position to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals unless we dramatically increase our efforts to fight these scourges."


The report also finds out that an estimated 25 million people were in forced labor in 2016, including 16 million in forced labor exploitation in private sectors such as domestic work, construction and agriculture. About five million were in forced sexual exploitation, and just over four million, or 16 percent of the total, were in forced labor imposed by their state authorities.


It's a shame on us all, says Andrew Forrest, chairman and founder of the Walk Free Foundation, an international human rights organization to help end modern slavery globally.


"This speaks to the deep seated discrimination and inequalities in our world today, coupled with a shocking tolerance of exploitation. This has to stop," he added.

BEIJING, Sept. 26 (Xinhua) -- China should speed up efforts to create a more open, fair, transparent business environment and increase its competitiveness to attract foreign investment, Chinese Vice Premier Wang Yang said Tuesday.


As China steers the new normal of economic development, foreign investment faces new challenges, but the fundamental need for steady growth of foreign investment remains unchanged, said Wang.


China's comprehensive competitiveness to attract foreign investment also remains constant, as does the willingness of transnational corporations to invest in China, the vice premier said.


China will open wider to foreign investment, not only in manufacturing, but also in the service sector, and increase the level and quality of foreign investment, Wang said.


He added that foreign investment should expand from eastern regions to central and western regions, and move from the lower end of the value chain to the middle and high end.


China will continue to reduce market access restrictions for foreign capital as well as granting fair treatment in laws and policies to foreign-funded companies after they enter the market, Wang said.

According to Marc Connolly the best Aphrodisiac is variety! I tend to agree with his suggestion. Since this e-guide shows you how to spice up your sex life, I couldn锟絫 possibly exclude aphrodisiacs. The dictionary definition of an aphrodisiac is 锟絘rousing or intensifying sexual desire.锟?Aphrodisiacs could also be something such as a drug or food, having such an effect. In other words, aphrodisiacs are those things that cause us - males and females - to feel sexually aroused, to desire, to become romantically excited. Aphrodisiac stems from the Greek word - aphrodisiakos, from aphrodisia - sexual pleasures; and especially from the Greek mythology, in which Aphrodite was the Goddess of love and sex.

Sexual variety is also an aphrodisiac. A threesome therefore will undoubtedly be an aphrodisiac. As a friend of ours says 锟紸 Trio can be an infusion of sexual juice for any relationship.锟?However, a threesome will hardly ever make a bad relationship good, but it can make a good relationship better. This means that in order for you to benefit from the aphrodisiac of variety that a threesome provides, you need to be either single or in a solid relationship.
