It hasn't. It is the only reasonable answer to this general question. Slavery still exists today, in every country of the world although the modern name for practices akin to slavery is human trafficking. Millions of people are forced to work in slavelike conditions around the world today.Slavery in the US, in case this is your specific issue, officially ended with the victory of the Union Army in the US Civil War in 1865. Trafficking is still going on though, with an estimated 50,000 people in forced labour in slave-like conditions in the United States at any one time. I think one should add that slavery in literal sense of human beings who are owned, and bought and sold has ended, except in parts of West Africa and the Sudan.

It muddies the waters if one fails to distinguish slavery in that sense from smuggling people across borders, and if one talks about 'slavelike conditions'. After all, one could make out a case for regarding workers in sweatshops as 'slaves', but I doubt if that is what either the questioner or the person who wrote the above answer had in mind.

Slavery today is called human trafficking. Most slaves are smuggled or imported from poor countries or countries in upheaval and are found in many countries around the world. These slaves are usually employed in the sex trade or in domestic service.
