So we all know about Nike and the sweatshops they use, there was a bit of publicity regarding Primark and children working on their clothes.
There is the blood diamond film with Leo, apart from that.
Production of Coltan (used in mobile phones, wireless technology) in Democratic Republic of Congo is seen as a massive contibuter to the civil war that raged the country for years over 4 million killed.
In Focus: Congo's Bloody Coltan
Then there is the chocolate production in Ivory Coast, and child slaves there
End Child Slavery in the Cocoa Industry
I'm sure there are loads more.
Do people realise that these things happen? and are they really that bothered where the products they buy come from, if people are bothered then where is the line?
