Slavery
Slavery is a social and economic system in which individuals are owned by others, deprived of personal freedom, and forced to perform labor or services without compensation. Historically practiced in many societies, slavery has taken various forms, including chattel slavery, debt bondage, and forced labor. It played a significant role in ancient civilizations, the transatlantic slave trade, and colonial economies. Although slavery is now illegal in most countries, modern forms such as human trafficking persist. Efforts to abolish slavery have included legal reforms, international treaties, and human rights campaigns.
