Slavery does exist today, in many countries in Africa and Asia. Most of it doesn't look like the plantation slavery of the antebellum South in America, though some of that does exist, especially on cocoa plantations in Africa. Slavery today often consists of women or children sold into slavery as domestic servants or for prostitution. http://www.freetheslaves.net/slavery_today/faqs.html

Slavery does still exist and it is widespread around the world, even in countries where it is illegal. As recent news investigations and even Oprah have pointed out, slavery even exists in the United States.

HUMAN TRAFFICKING from the F.B.I. website: An Intelligence Report 06/12/06 It’s a thriving international business in our increasingly interconnected global economy, generating some $9 billion in profits every year. Only it’s rooted in one of the world’s oldest evils—the enslavement of human beings. It’s called “human trafficking”…and it involves buying, selling, and smuggling people—often women and children—and forcing them into what amounts to modern-day slavery. How big is the problem? Very big. According to the State Department, up to two million people are trafficked worldwide every year, with an estimated 15,000 to 18,000 in the U.S., causing untold suffering.

In many places. But I think one of the largest growing slavery industries is the sex slavery industry from east to west.
-
Yes. Human trafficking is still a huge problem.
