Slavery Footprint is asurvey that asks and responds to the question, “How Many Slaves Work For You?”. Users input data about theirconsumer spending habits, then the survey calculates the user's participation inmodern-day slavery as quantified by their consumption of items created byforced labor andchild labor.[1]
The creators of Slavery Footprint researched thesupply chains of 400 consumer products to determine the likely number of slaves it takes to make each of those products.[2] The purpose of the survey is to increase awareness of forced labor and child labor and engage the public in taking steps toward addressing the use of forced labor, by encouraging users to advocate with strategic actions in the marketplace.
