**3. The paradigm of modern slavery**

Classical slavery practices cover two different systems. In the first system, slaves could survive if they devoted themselves to their masters. This relationship of dependence on throat satiety was mostly encountered in cases where the slave source was prisoners of war and enslavement of serfs. In this system, which was "beneficial" for both sides, the captive-servant was getting rid of death, and the owner was improving his economic situation thanks to this worker with low consumption. The second system was based on racial segregation. In this system, racial or ethnic differences were used to explain the existence of slavery and even justify it [6]. In these systems, the power holders based their legal and political justifications on these justifications in order to morally justify the decisions they took for economic reasons to maintain slavery.

In the modern slavery system, the concepts of captivity of war or apartheid no longer mean as much as they used to. However, the fact that these ideas that legitimized classical slavery have lost their validity over time does not mean that modern slave owners have not started to use new criteria to select their slaves. Today, we see that the most important criterion used by modern slave owners when choosing their slaves is "personal vulnerability". It is the economic, social, political and cultural conditions that make people vulnerable to slavery [7]. What matters today is not "how suitable the skin color, ethnicity, religion of the enslaved people are to be slaves". The basic qualities that modern slave owners look for in their potential slaves: It is "being so pure, weak, poor and deprived that one can be deceived". In addition, there is no need to legitimate this justification nowadays. Because, unfortunately, in the modern world, the morality of money itself has reached the power to smash many other concerns in life. For this reason, most modern slaveholders do not even need to explain or defend their chosen method of exploitation of labor. Those who use modern slaves enslave these people for profit, not to mistreat them. As a result, since modern slavery is much more profitable than classical slavery, the size of the final figure after incomes are deducted can be accepted as a valid excuse for everything for modern slave owners [5].

Today, the modern slavery system manifests itself in unregistered economic practices created by the mafia and terrorist organizations, sometimes seeing people of a certain race as belonging to a lower social class, mostly based on the cheap labor needs that capitalism needs [8]. This new slavery system, including but not limited to; human trafficking, trafficking in women subject to sexual exploitation, forced marriage, transfer of a woman by her spouse or her husband's family or her own family to someone else in exchange for money or in line with different traditional rituals, exploitation of child labor, sexual exploitation of children, being used as a soldier in conflicts, debt slavery, domestic slavery and exploitation activities related to racism are carried on in the axis of many different practices [6]. Modern slavery, which includes many of the most serious human rights violations, including extreme economic exploitation, severe discrimination and coercion, may not always be

detectable at first glance, as it is often created through complex and dark relationships [9, 10]. This situation makes it difficult to reveal a clear picture of modern forms of slavery, to punish the actions that cause this phenomenon and to eliminate this problem.

In Bales's words, slavery; it has now turned into an "attractive" business field, and contrary to popular belief, slavery is not decreasing, the number of slaves is increasing day by day [5]. Today, modern slavery is part of the modern global economy and is somehow in our lives whether we are aware of it or not.
