Sejarah perbudakan meliputi beberapa budaya, kebangsaan, dan agama dari zaman kuno sampai masa sekarang. Namun, posisi sosial, ekonomi, dan hukum para budak beragam dalam sistem perbudakan yang berbeda di waktu dan tempat yang berbeda.[1]
Meskipun perbudakan tak selamanya dianggap sah di bagian mana pun di dunia,[5]perdagangan manusia masih menjadi masalah internasional dan sekitar 25–40 juta orang hidup dalam perbudakan ilegal pada masa sekarang.[6] Pada Perang Saudara Sudan Kedua 1983–2005, orang-orang dimasukkan dalam perbudakan.[7] Meskipun Perbudakan di Mauritania dikriminalisasi pada Agustus 2007,[8] sekitar 600.000 pria, wanita, dan anak-anak, atau 20% dari populasi, sekarang diperbudak, beberapa di antaranya dijadikan sebagai buruh utang.[9] Terdapat bukti perbudakan sistematis pada akhir 1990-an dalam penanaman kakao di Afrika Barat.
