Slavery\u00a0is a system under which people are treated as property, traded and subjected to forced work.\u00a0\u00a0It is also a relationship whereby one person has absolute power over another, controlling his\/her life and liberty. We speak of chattel slavery when people are treated as property that can change hands like commodities. In bonded labour a person is in some kind of debt which he\/she has to pay by fulfilling certain roles. And we have forced labour when one is obliged to work or do something against his\/her will. <a title=\"Are women slave today\" href=\"http:\/\/mafrsouthernafrica.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/08\/are-women-today_s-slaves.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">READ MORE<\/a> \u00a0 <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Evans K.
