The Short Version
Walk Free’s 2023 data supports the ranking named in the claim. In the report’s global findings, those six countries are the top six by estimated number of people in modern slavery. The only notable caveat is that the report more explicitly presents a top-ten ranking and separately highlights a different six-country G20 grouping.
Caveats
The report’s most explicit presentation is a top-ten ranking, not a standalone official 'top six' list.
Elsewhere, Walk Free refers to a different set of six countries in a G20 context: India, China, Russia, Indonesia, Türkiye, and the United States.
The claim concerns absolute numbers of people, not prevalence rates; those are different measures and produce different country rankings.
