'''Slavery''' is a form of [[force]]d [[labor]] in which people are considered to be, or treated as, the [[property]] of others. Slaves can be held against their [[will]] from the time of their capture, purchase or birth, and deprived of the right to leave, to refuse to work, or to receive compensation (such as wages). [[Evidence]] of slavery predates written records, and has existed to varying extents, forms and periods in almost all [[culture]]s and continents.[1] In some societies, slavery existed as a legal institution or socio-economic system, but today it is formally outlawed in nearly all countries. Nevertheless, the [[practice]] continues in various forms around the world.[2][3].
