Everyday Products Made With Slave Labour
Common items we use that are produced unethically.

Description:
We all strongly desire expensive products at cheap cost, leading us to shop at major retailers such as Walmart of Costco, that offer merchandise and products at a great cost. Most of us don’t think about why the product is as cheap as it is, and how the big box corporations make their money from such cheap prices. Unfortunately, the cost of a great discount is rather great in terms of ethics and morale. What is even harder to swallow is the fact that some of most basic and common products come from worlds of corruption, slave labor, and harsh discipline procedures that make any humanitarian sick. However, because these products are so common and in such high demand, it is hard to take a step back and stop the use of these things, regardless of the damage we know it is causing.
Heartbreakingly enough, chocolate is on this list. Cocoa beans mostly come from the Ivory Coast, and unfortunately it is a location where slave labor runs rampant where children under the age of 10 are forced to carry unbearable loads onto their backs. So, next time you take a bite out of your chocolate bar, take a moment to reflect on where it came from. The cocoa harvesting industry has caused numerous reports of children being abducted or going missing completely.
Next time you go looking for your next set of tires, be aware as to whether the rubber came from Liberia or not. Many of the former fighters from Liberia’s civil war became plantation owners and use slaves to cut down the trees and produce rubber in factories, which is why their products can be sold at such cheap costs. From prisoners of war and children, these plantation and factory owners have created quite a big business venture at the expense of other human beings.
If you have ever seen the movie, “Blood Diamond”, you are probably aware of just how corrupted the diamond mining business is. Using mainly child laborers, these kids work in fear everyday as they are watched over by armed guards with guns, and they live with a very real fear of getting shot. Seven third world countries around the world participate in this heinous act. Worker conditions are deplorable, and often lead to painful lung diseases. Coffee is also created from child slave labor, and the practice is conducted in several countries from Colombia and the Ivory Coast.
Tobacco is another area where families in countries, such as Kazakhstan, work long hours for just pennies a day for 13 hours. Children are often working in the fields for long hours and getting physically injured from harvesting the tobacco plants, results in cuts on their hands and abdomen, which will usually get infected not too long after.
Also, if you have ever used an electronic, companies such as Apple have been under fire lately for exporting to companies overseas where they will force their employees to work over 100 hours per week in uncomfortable conditions where they can’t sit comfortably as well as being subject to humiliation tactics in order to get their work done efficiently.
Unfortunately, for the rest of this video, it only gets worse from there. Ultimately, it is up to you to decide for yourself whether to continue to buy these products and contribute to the problem. Is it time for you to use your voice and speak out?

Here's 3 more industries which tie into one really big industry, the Meat, Dairy and egg industry.
Sucks but still gonna use them
me too i feal very bad
and here we are slaves of Internet
You guys need to investigate good the things you say. I'm from Dominican Republic and the slavery here doesn't exist since a loooong time. Actually, the people who harvest the coffee here are poor and many times people who didn't attend school, from the country ( because it's a hard job to do but you don't need education for it) but they certainly get paid and they are not forced to do it. It's a low pay job that you choose to do, in most of the cases cause they can't get a better job.
i have samsung not the shity slave made aple
The people that thinks this is horrible continue to purchase these items. We all do.

Diamonds are an everyday product?
I was a pack a day smoker and I quit partially for my health, but also because I couldn't stomach supporting those evil companies. Slave labor, addiction, lobbying congress for their own interest of getting and keeping people addicted.
you forgot jordans
Omg Most White People Are So Racist
Many things on this list are outrageously overpriced too.
The only way to stop/lessen this practice is to stop buying those products.
There is a comment on here saying "I don't want black people touching my coffee", at the very beginning omg
i care more about the dying tigers and habitat loss and deforestation than the worthless niggers.
Just pray to God and the second coming of Jesus is very soon
No white people were harmed during the making of this video.. HAHAHA!
I will enjoy my products more knowing they came from others misery and pain
I will actually take more care of these things knowing people worked their asses off to make these. It would be unfair to not buy these stuff whilst these kids worked so much to make these stuff we could easily buy.
Wait do we have the government!!!
Diamonds are everyday products?
I'm glad that I live in Indiana, but damn I feel bad for those people……
lol trumps limo
and were a free country how?
Why is no one protesting?

I needed a computer for job searching.
My gamecube on the other hand is not necessary, but they stopped making them, so it doesn't matter that I buy a used one.
My glasses are necessary.
I'm surprised Anime isn't in this list.
