Get Educated: Read the Department of Labor's List of Products Involving Child Labor or Forced Labor


THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR’S LIST OF GOODS PRODUCED BY CHILD LABOR OR FORCED LABOR

Numerous anti-trafficking states worked hard to make sure this list was published. In 2005, congress mandated that the US Department of Labor publish a list of goods that involve labor and child trafficking. Here it is! Thanks to Polaris Project for sending out this update.

Visit the following link to read the report in pdf format: http://www.dol.gov/ilab/programs/ocft/PDF/2009TVPRA.pdf

Two additional documents were published as well that provide more detailed information:
