For many of us it is hard to believe modern slavery is now more prevalent than at any time in history.

But the ubiquity and lack of accountability in global supply chains mean an estimated 25 million people around the world are in forced labour. A further 15 million are in forced marriage.

About two-thirds of the total number of people in modern slavery are in the Asia-Pacific region, where most Australian companies source their materials and products.

The problem is so widespread it’s unlikely any companies’ operations or supply chains are completely free of modern slavery.

Yet many businesses are unaware of what modern slavery is and what it might look like in their operations and supply chains. And some companies – and their customers – may be complicit in creating a “race to bottom” by demanding cheaper goods and services without checks on social (and environmental) credentials.

A while back I was discussing with some friends and I was arguing that there's still a lot of slavery in the world. One of them - a Haitian girl - was absolutely certain that in Haiti some of the people that she knows are still to this day, using slaves in their household like in the 1800s.

That's mental.
 
Not sure if it's all true but the worst is that there aren't really any other options. Even the fair phone uses components from manufacturers who are opaque about the source of their raw material.
 
Le 3/4 des camps de concentration présentement sont en Chine à Xinjiang à cause du conflit Han vs Uighurs commandité par le gouvernement.

Cette entreprise qui fabrique les iPhone en Chine est Foxconn, une entreprise taïwanaise. Quel paradoxe, Taïwan qui se plaint d'être sous le contrôle de la méchante Chine et qui permet à ses entreprises d'exploiter les Hans de la Chine continentale.

Il y a eu des tractations pour permettre à Foxconn de déplacer la production en sol américain par le gouvernement américain. Sauf qu'il n'y aura pas un ostie d'Américains qui voudraient travailler dans ces conditions-là. Que Foxconn déménage de la Chine, personne ne les retient.
