Slavery is a term categorized under sociology which defines being owned by the law, personnel, or as property without granting a chance to live without hindrance. However, according to various ethics, beliefs, and agreements, there are two types of slaveries, such as movable or immovable properties. Usually, properties such as real estate, which are objects of law, do not have responsibility for what happens. Slaves, in general, do not have the freedom to experience their rights equally as their owners or proprietors. This applies to both human and animal slaves. This unfortunate fact leads to experiencing physical, mental, and sexual harassment as well as the fact that there won’t be anyone like relatives for the victims.
