Global supply chains that deliver goods throughout the world are most likely tainted with [[slave labor]]. The reason for this includes convoluted [[supply chain management]] that crosses many international borders, ineffective labor laws, corporates claiming plausible deniability, global political-economic restructuring and well-intended consumers. This effort to eradicate modern day slavery resonates with well meaning individuals who purchase fair-trade items, hoping they are making a difference. The [[fair trade]] industry is estimated to exceed $1.2 billion annually (Davenport & Low 2012). Unfortunately, this is barely a dent into the global economy. International labor laws need to be created by various authorities such as the [[International Labour Organization|International Labor Organization]], [[World Trade Organization]], Interpol and the United Nations that have teeth to adequately punish the wrongdoers.
