How were the slaves in Africa treated?

The slaves weren’t treated fairly woman and men were used for different labour. Unlike most places slave owners preferred women more than men, women were used for farming, things in the household, and they were also used to have sex. But in return for the slaves labour their owners paid them back with food and protection. And in this case African slavery was better than transatlantic slavery as, in transatlantic slavery if the slaves do or make one little mistake the owners are allowed to punish them or even beat them to death.
