A crime that disproportionately affects women and girls, forced labor is deeply embedded in many companies’ supply chains, often (but not always) without their knowledge. (Many consumer products are produced with some forced labor. http://slaveryfootprint.org/) This UN report published in 2018, provides a comprehensive overview of the global problem.
