When the majority of the imports we use in the US come from other countries that use slave labor for those goods. And out of the entire global population of slaves in 2025, an estimated 75-80% are women. Roughly 54% in forced labor are women and girls.
Examples of Everyday Items Linked to Forced Labor
-Smartphones and laptops: Cobalt (DR Congo), semiconductors (China, Malaysia)
-Clothing: Cotton (Xinjiang, India, Uzbekistan), sewing factories (Bangladesh, Vietnam)
-Coffee & chocolate: Harvesting (Brazil, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana)
-Seafood: Fishing industries in Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries
-Construction materials: Bricks and tiles (India, Pakistan)
-Other electronics, textiles, footwear, fishing, agriculture, and mining that are high-risk industries for forced labor.
Many goods are imported from countries with documented labor abuses, especially involving:
-China (e.g., Xinjiang region — cotton, solar panels)
-Bangladesh, Vietnam, India (garments, textiles)
-Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana (cocoa)
-DR Congo (cobalt mining for batteries)
Roastie slaves everywhere, (((AI))) says it so it must be true
