Eradicating contemporary forms of slavery from supply chains 2015, para. 25 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Despite the various measures taken to eradicate the worst forms of child labour from the carpet industry, these forms were reported to continue to exist in handmade carpet production units in South Asia, in which carpets are produced for export mainly to the United States of America.

Debt bondage as a key form of contemporary slavery 2016, para. 51 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Interventions to support the empowerment of adults who are in debt bondage or who are vulnerable to debt bondage are necessary, both for the individuals concerned and for subsequent generations. Initiatives that ensure that bonded labourers have access to land, such as land reform in rural areas, and fairer leasing arrangements; full, free and productive employment and skill training; and affordable credit could promote the empowerment of bonded labourers and prevent debt bondage. Furthermore, the implementation of projects that facilitate access to regulated credit schemes, both for entrepreneurial purposes and for personal needs, could prevent workers from becoming trapped in debt bondage. | Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of slavery, including its causes and consequences | Special Procedures' report |
