Look in the mirror and look all around you. If you think we're free then you've bought the lie of the centuries. We believe we're free because we have been told we're free. To know you're free is to be free. To believe you're free is to be a slave for the system and its creators. Our minds have slowly been brainwashed to accept the most ridiculous explanations from our leaders. Our common sense has atrophied. I know the kind of slavery you are asking about, but , stop and think for a minute. Which is worse, slavery of the mind or body? The worst slavery of all is the slavery of your mind and your will. If you think like all the other clones you are a slave. If you dare to be yourself you pay the price, but it's worth it.

Everywhere. There have even been recent cases in the U.S. about slavery in households.
In Russia it is still prevalent, and in a lot of Asian and Middle Eastern countries it is the accepted norm, though well-hidden form Western tourists.
It doesn't matter the skin color, either. Caucasians are just as likely to be victims of slavery as people of African descent.

To one degree or another...probably every country in the world...including right here in the good old us of a. Young girls for example are brought from other countries on the promise that they can have a new and wonderful life here...but when they arrive, they are sold to pimps etc. and put out as streetwalkers i.e. prostitutes. That is a form of slavery.

Some people in America have slaves. It's more common then you think. I read a story of a woman from India who got a *job* in the US cooking and cleaning, but wasn't allowed to leave the house or write to her children back in India (the reason she came was to send money back) so the family that enslaved her would just send her family money every now and then so they wouldn't suspect. It happens all the time with Mexican Immigrants

Try Africa with the diamond trade,China with slave labor & political prisoners,Muslim countries enslaving women thru medevial belief systems.
Many parts of the world have despots for leaders that enslave their entire culture by denying basic human rights.

Everywhere - including the United States of America. Illegal, you say? On paper, yes -but laws seldom deter undesirable behavior.

In Mauritania, in Africa, it's estimated that at least 100,000 blacks are still living as "chattel slaves" to the dominant Moor masters.
