End Human Trafficking through Fair Trade

Today is World Day Against Human Trafficking. Ending modern slavery for over 40 million people is a big undertaking, but even simple choices you make can have an impact. When you opt for Fair Trade products, you're helping ensure farmers and workers get better pay as well more rights and protections in the workplace. If we work together, we can End Human Trafficking.

Fair Trade Smorrebrod.
