It is extremely scary and sick to think of the connections that our consumer products have to slavery. People don’t know where the diamond on their ring came from, or how the metal in their cellphone was gathered. We need to think about who makes every single thing that we purchase – and how we know that it was made by a free person with a decent wage. Enslaved children and adults make much of the cocoa that is contained in Nestle and Cadbury chocolate bars. Nike and the GAP clothing store do not ensure that their workers overseas are paid a living wage.

I did watch the report.
Truly heartbreaking.
In this day and age with all the technological advances, you’d think there would be a better way.
