Most people have heard about the slave trade in the 1400s and beyond. The slave trade, established by Europeans, abducted and held in bondage millions of Africans from across the continent, eventually selling them for work or sexual exploitation. For centuries, this practice flourished in countries such as Spain, the expanding United States, Holland, France, Sweden, and Denmark.
Governments did not emerge until the late 1700s and early 1800s. began to declare the Transatlantic slave trade illegal, with Great Britain leading the way in 1807 and the United States following in 1820 – the slave trade became a crime punishable by death, but more universal emancipation took several years to attain. Slavery was largely abolished by the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863, and it was completely abolished by the Thirteenth Amendment of 1866.
Governments began to examine “white slavery,” the phrase used at the time for sexual human trafficking when the Transatlantic Slave Trade was declared immoral. The International Agreement for the Suppression of the White Slave Traffic was put into law by European monarchs in 1904, and 12 countries signed the International Convention for the Suppression of the White Slave Traffic.
