Slavery is with us today, with tens of thousands of people made
victims every year - commonly the poorest and most vulnerable
individuals. Nowhere is this more true than in particular sections
of the global fishing industry, and arguably most prevalently in
Thailand. Many of us are supporting the perpetrators of slavery,
trafficking in persons, forced and bonded labour ourselves - most
often unwittingly - through our food purchasing decisions. Seafood
we consume today is being caught or processed by these modernday
slaves.
