Almost certainly not.
The entire concept of equality, and civil rights for all, is a creation of the Wester European Enlightenment with no precedent or counterpart elsewhere.
To put another way, slavery has been present in every human society throughout recorded history. The only ones to have ended it across the board are a) the Roman Empire under Christianity, and b) the UK, France, US, and Brazil (roughly in that order) in the 19th century.
