Unfortunately, yes, Christians are persecuted in the modern world. Of course they are not thrown to the lions or crucified, but in many countries that have a state religion or are atheistic, they are persecuted economically, educationally, and their civil and religious rights are restricted.

Where is christian persecution happening today?

First, we should define "Christian Persecution". What is happening in the United States, Canada, and Europe, where Christians do not get their way politically in every case, e.g. abortion is legal, divorce is legal, more people are leaving Christianity, etc. is NOT persecution. Persecution is when the lives or livelihoods of people are severely threatened or such people face legal hardships because they are Christians. There is persecution of Christians in North Korea, persecution specifically of Catholics in China, and persecution of Christians in general throughout the Islamic World, but especially in Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.P.S. It is not happening "worldwide".
