Thread Name: BS: Child Slavery
Subject: RE: BS: Child Slavery
First job - to jump on child slavery taking place in this country from a great height - and lock up the perpetrators and throw away the key.

The next stage is harder - the 3rd world sweat shops are symptomatic of abject poverty - they are seen as an alternative to starvation.

Cutting the supply chains will just replace one form of suffering with another.

International investment is needed to properly capitalise worker controlled industries - but with the governments priorities for international aid, this does seem a very high prioroty.
