From Ellie Finkelstein, Freedom United
| We’ve just received groundbreaking information from the U.S. Department of Labor that directly impacts our fight against modern slavery. This year’s 2024 Forced Labor Report uncovers 37 new goods linked to forced labor – the most ever recorded. From nickel and squid to lithium-ion batteries, the findings implicate industries that touch many of our daily lives. With modern slavery infiltrating global supply chains at unprecedented levels, staying informed is not just a choice; it’s a necessity.
