Even if consumers boycott stores that are known to sell produce involving child slavery would it realistically make their suffering any less? I would be happy to if I knew that there was an alternative prospect like them getting an education etc. The problem is if a UK mother is on limited money she is going to dress her family and herself as cheaply as possible. Frequently I see GAP labelled clothes ending up in charity shops to sell on. Should charity shops refuse GAP labelled items or is that ok because the money made on the item (not a lot) goes back into charity?

Another form of child slavery in a kind of way equally abhorent is the use of boy soldiers, I wish that would stop too.
