Forced labor has existed for thousands of years, with roots traceable to ancient civilizations such as Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Greece. It became more formally recognized during the Roman Empire, where enslaved individuals were used for various labor-intensive tasks. The transatlantic slave trade from the 16th to the 19th centuries marked a significant expansion of forced labor systems. Although many forms of forced labor have been abolished, modern slavery and human trafficking still persist today.
