Human Trafficking: Modern Day Slavery
Human Trafficking is the second-largest criminal industry in the world. Child labor and forced labor exists in every country and is found in common everyday items including cotton, sugar, tobacco, coffee, rice, cocoa, clothes, footwear, gold and steel. It will take consumers, corporations, governments, and other stakeholders to translate their economic power into a force that will eliminate this modern day slavery.
