Ghana was the center of the British slave trade for almost 150 years. Western traders arrived in ships loaded with manufactured goods to barter or trade for slaves. Those who were sold had often been captured in tribal warfare; some had simply been kidnapped to sell to European slave traders. According to the WalkFree Global Slavery Index report (2023), Ghana's prevalence of modern slavery is 2.9 per 1000 people, which translates to 91,000 people.
