It is time for the people of the world to hold the governments, corporations and everyone who profits from the proliferation of the global slave trade accountable. We can all get involved in helping to end slavery in small ways on a daily basis by being more vigilant with regard to what we buy. Every time someone buys an item for less than the cost of its component parts, slave labor has undoubtedly been employed. I would rather pay more, own less and be certain everyone involved in making the goods I buy and growing the food I eat, are free persons, who are well paid for their labor.
