In places like Sudan, yes slavery still exists. Government doesn't really reach to solve it and it happens. However, I'm going to take a whole different approach to this question. It might be wrong, but I think it's a valid point. Slavery may not exist everywhere, but human trafficking does.
Contrary to common belief, human trafficking happens in the United States too, not just other countries. Every state in this wonderful country has had a report for human trafficking, including Washington D.C., and some other U.S. territories. Thousands of men, women, and children are trafficked to America and sold for more times than not, sexual desires. Lesser cases involve forced labor, but they're still there.
Doesn't that sound awfully like what we learned as slavery in our history classes?
I hope my approach isn't completely wrong.

I like how you included the stuff about human trafficking, because can be seen as a form of slavery. Can't it?
