According to Slavery Footprint, a slave is:

“anyone who is forced to work without pay,

being economically exploited and is unable to walk away.”

Right now, there are ~27 million slaves globally (!!)

they are making your phone, gutting shrimp,

mining for mica for the glittery sparkles in make-up,

weaving rugs, growing cocoa beans, etc.

The website (Slavery Footprint) has a really well

designed interactive graphic to educate people about

the supply chain and serves as a good reminder

to become an even more critical consumer.
