Modern-day slavery exists; it’s called forced labor.
Forced labor is a practice in which people (mostly women and children) are coerced into working for inadequate pay or none at all.
KnowTheChain, an organization that reports on corporate practices, looked at 20 footwear and apparel companies and scored them from 0 to 100 based on their efforts to eliminate forced labor in their supply chains.
Brands like Adidas, Gap, and Lululemon proved that they are doing their part in preventing the exploitation of workers — but brands like Prada and Puma scored frighteningly low, making them the worst offenders.
