Slavery is a form of forced labor where a "person" is compelled to work for another (sometimes called "the master" or "slave owner").Slaves are held against their will from the time of their capture, purchase, or birth, and are deprived of the right to leave, to refuse to work, or to receivecompensation (such as wages) in return for their labor. Evidence of slavery predates written records, and has existed to varying extents, forms and periods in almost all cultures and continents.In some societies, slavery existed as a legal institution or socioeconomic system, but today it is formally outlawed in nearly all countries. Nevertheless, the practice continues in various forms around the world. Freedom from slavery is an internationally recognized human right.Article 4 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states:: No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms.
