Modern slavery rife in the ‘last frontier’ at sea
Sustained pressure, from governments to seafood shopping consumers, could help end the suffering of migrant workers in offshore illegal fisheries.
An updated law prohibiting forced labour is limited to formal employment relationships. Workers in sectors that are unregulated are not sufficiently protected, nor does the law reach workers who have free movement, but suffer mistreatment.
When forced labour practices are part of supply chains, it is reasonable to ascertain that environmental degradation may be present too.
The clothing industry should work harder to prevent and address gender-based violence in their supply chains. In order to do so, they first need to confront how badly their inspection or social auditing programs fail to protect women.
