Are there places in the world where slavery still exists?

Question

I REALLY DON'T KNOW?

Answer 1

In many places, slavery is not legalized; but it is still practiced.  While, it is not at the scale of early America and African slavery.  But, there are many black market slavery rings.  Even in NYC.  NYC is known for having an underground s*x slave operation.  As well as Thailand.  Much of the s*x slave market is illegal, but the host nation does not do much about it.  A variety of women are victimized through this process.  The women usually start of very young, and contract a host of STDs and viral infections within a matter of years; including HIV.  

Another form of slavery may be a bit off of the mainstream idea that you are thinking of.  Although, individuals are not legally slaves; their race or social position is set for life.  Like caste systems.  Here, where you are born, determines what jobs you will have in the future; and any efforts to try and move up will be dealt with harshly by the upper parts of society.
