Slavery is a system under which people are treated as property to be bought and sold, and are forced to work.[1] Slaves can be held against their will from the time of their capture, purchase orbirth, and deprived of the right to leave, to refuse to work, or to demand compensation. Historically, slavery was institutionally recognized by many societies; in more recent times slavery has beenoutlawed in most societies but continues through the practices of debt bondage, indentured servitude, serfdom, domestic servants kept in captivity, certain adoptions in which children are forced to work asslaves, child soldiers, and forced marriage.[2]
Slavery predates written records and has existed in many cultures.[3] The number of slaves today remains as high as 12[4] to 27 million.[5][6] Mostare debt slaves, largely in South Asia, who are under debt bondage incurred by lenders, sometimes even for generations.[7] Human trafficking is primarily used for forcing women and children into sexindustries.[8]
In pre-industrial societies, slaves and their labour were economically extremely important. Slaves and serfs made up around three-quarters of the world's population at the beginning ofthe 19th century.[9]
In modern mechanised societies, there is less need for sheer massive manpower


The number of slaves today remains as high as 12 million[1] to 27 million,[2][3][4] the highestnumber in human history.[5][6] Most are debt slaves, largely in South Asia, who are under debt bondage incurred by lenders, sometimes even for generations.[7] Human trafficking is primarily forprostituting women and children into sex industries.[8] It is the fastest growing criminal industry and is predicted to eventually outgrow drug trafficking.[8][9]
Total annual revenues of traffickers wereestimated in 2004 to range from US $5 billion to US $9 billion.[10] Due to the illegal nature of trafficking and differences in methodology, the exact extent and growth of the industry is unknown....
