LabeLing for Lent An Effort to Prevent Human Trafficking
***********************
By the Coalition of Catholic Organizations Against Human Trafficking (CCOAHT)
Human trafficking is a global phenomenon that enslaves women, men, and children into situations of forced labor, debt bondage, and s*xual servitude. Human trafficking is wide spread in many products' supply chains, including products sold in the United States.
WHAT CAN WE DO?
So what can we, as Catholics, do to prevent human trafficking and
exploitation in supply chains? We can educate ourselves and use our power as ethical consumers to help stamp out trafficking.
HOW CAN WE DO THIS?
Currently, we are not always given the information we need to make moral purchasing decisions. Through labeling, we as consumers can make educated purchasing choices that help eradicate human trafficking.
