Slavery has been a part of human history from the very beginning. Sometimes, it was direct slavery, and sometimes, it was indirect. Slavery also makes a person migrate, and the migration that comes with slavery is forced migration. Sometimes a person is ostracized even without his knowledge which leads to the trauma of being separated from his loved ones and made him suffer.
The displacement is not only from one place to another but also from the geography, culture, language, eating habits, friends, relations, and the environment in which one is brought up
