SLAVE LABOR WORLDWIDE

Click to enlarge
Information from the International Labour Organization, Geneva
“An estimated 21 million people – 11.4 million women and girls and 9.5 million men and boys – are victims of forced labor around the globe. These victims work in virtually every industry and across sectors, including manufacturing, agriculture, construction, entertainment, and domestic services.
California, which boasts the world’s seventh-largest economy and the country’s largest consumer base, is unique in its ability to address this issue, and as a result, to help eradicate human trafficking and slavery worldwide.”
