On 23 august marks the International Day for the Victims of Slavery and its Ban! UNESCO proclaims 23 August as International Day for the Victims of Slavery and its Ban (on the occasion of the slave uprising in Santo Domingo, 22-23 August, 1791). Slavery is a socio-economic system in which a certain person - called a slave - is deprived of his personal freedom and forced into forced labor. The slave is treated as property of its owner.
