LABOR TRAFFICKING 101
The Polaris Project is an excellent resource for defining labor trafficking and examples of how it shows up in our world today.

FAIR TRADE LABELS
There are many fair trade labels as well as a lot of discussion as to what a label means and the process a product has to go through to become fair trade. Fair Trade Campaigns is a great place to begin in learning more about fair trade labels and how to navigate them.
