An estimated 40 million people are modern-day slaves, more than ever before in human history. Whether they are women in electronics or apparel sweatshops, children in brick kilns or on cocoa farms, men trapped in bonded labour working on construction sites, or girls forced into domestic servitude or sex work, millions of people are forced to perform labour through the use of force, intimidation or deceit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eModern slavery is an integral part of the global economy. It even becomes part of our daily lives when we use or buy products that are made through exploitative labour practices. In a world of growing inequality, consumers and business are both part of the problem and the solution. While we have all become accustomed to fast fashion and cheap consumer goods, we must take responsibility for exploitation at different points along complex supply chains. This important book examines slavery in the modern world and outlines ways it can be stopped.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBook includes discussion of new anti-slavery legislation in Australia, theUK, France and California\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFresh analysis by renowned experts in the field and written in a clear andaccessible style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes information on how consumers, investors and shareholderscan make more informed choices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExamples and case studies show the extent of exploitative labourpractices worldwide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirected at individuals concerned about the real cost of cheap goods andfast fashion as well as corporations concerned about their procurementpractices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrowing consumer and corporate awareness of need to buy ethically,whether it’s fashion, chocolate, coffee, electronic goods etc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModern slavery is a growing component of human rights campaignsaround the world\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"UNSW Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52694813475096,"sku":"9781742236438","price":19.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/addressing-modern-slavery-paperback-softback-9781742236438","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
