Enslaved People

Enslaved people are individuals forced to work without pay and without the freedom to leave or make their own choices. Historically, slavery involved owners or oppressors controlling their lives, often based on race, ethnicity, or social status. Enslaved individuals endured harsh conditions, exploitation, and separation from loved ones. Although slavery has been abolished in most countries, its legacy affects societies today, highlighting ongoing struggles for justice, human rights, and equality.
