Bales indicated Global Slavery most common in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa--areas where child marriage is also common. He noted that the highest level of slavery, forced marriage and dual legal systems are consonant. Parallel legal systems are those where tribal and customary law are operating parallel to civil or national law. @trustwomenconf #twconf12 -
