168,000 children ARE being exploited in manufacturing according to the International Labor Organization (ILO). In this year’s campaign the ILO states that “ending child labor in supply chains is everyone’s business.” As an action and in recognition of the World Day Against Child Labor on June 12th, please contact your Senators once more and plead with them to co-sponsor S.1968 Business Supply Chain Transparency on Trafficking and Slavery Act. To date the bill has only 3 co-sponsors. We may not be positioned to rescue and rehabilitate children as Kailash Satyarthi, the Nobel Peace Prize co-recipient in 2014, has done for more than 86,000 children in India. But we can do something. Make the call or write to your Senators! Let your voice be heard!
