On a fundamental level, slavery can simply be understood as forcing or deceiving a person ‘to act’ or ‘not to act’ against their free will. This is against the notion that humans are ‘born free’ and thus have the ‘inherent rights’ to act or not to act in accordance with their free will as long as such ‘actions’ or ‘inactions’ do not adversely affect the rights of others. Nonetheless, slavery has existed all over the world in various forms and shapes since time immemorial, and it can be experienced in numerous sectors of a person’s life, such as in religious, political, economic, social, cultural, educational, and even family settings. Hence, traces of slavery can be observed in all of these establishments, i.e. religious institutions, sovereign States, corporations and companies, financial institutions, social institutions, cultural institutions, educational institutions, family units, etc.
