What does SL mean in ACADEMIC & SCIENCE

Slavery is a system of forced labor that involves one person or population being coerced, controlled, and/or treated like property by another.

Slavery has been present throughout history in various cultures and regions. This includes several ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans.

The practice of slavery was eventually abolished in many countries due to events such as the abolition of the slave trade in Britain in 1807, Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, and other anti-slavery movements around the world.

Modern-day slavery is often much more hidden than historical forms of slavery because it usually takes place under the radar. For example, human trafficking has become increasingly difficult to detect due to its underground nature. Additionally, while historical forms of slavery typically involved someone being owned by another person or group outright, modern-day slavery generally involves someone being taken advantage of through more subtle means such as debt bondage or forced labor. Q5: What are some common misconceptions about this form of exploitation? A5: One common misconception about modern day exploitation is that it does not exist anymore. While progress has been made towards abolishing this form of exploitation, it still exists today all over the world in different forms such as sex trafficking and forced labour. Another misconception is that only certain types of people are targeted for exploitation; however, anyone can be vulnerable depending on their circumstances.
