So we may not be doing as well as you thought - sorry !

Hi Paul,
Yes, we are not there yet. But now slavery is seen as a crime, rather than being OK.
That is a big step forward.
In the same way, being gay was once seen as a crime. Now it's no longer criminal to be gay (at least in Australia). We're gradually getting there. To be sure, the road is littered with corpses, and that is a horrible tragedy. But we owe it to those who died for no good reason to press on.
