About the data

A major cause of forced labour in today’s global supply chains is the charging of recruitment fees to migrant workers. Such payments can create situations of debt bondage and leave low-wage workers vulnerable to human trafficking and further exploitation. Interviews with workers specifically about their recruitment journey can help a company detect indicators of modern slavery related violations.
