We do not condone modern slavery of any kind.

Our goal at BNN x Brands is to Educate.

In this, it is our duty to present you, the consumer with the most amount of informational resources accordingly.Per Anti-Slavery International,

"Modern slavery is exploitative labour that places one person in the control of another."

If someone is:

being forced to work, or threatened to work;being owned, controlled by an ’employer’ in a mentally or physically abusive manner; being de-humanised or treated as a commodity;being physically constrained or unfree.

The person is likely subject to slavery. In simpler terms, if a person is forced work involuntarily and cannot leave said work, this is likely slavery.

Examples of forms of slavery include, but are not limited to:

forced labour, bonded labor, human traffickingslavery by heritage and child laboursupply chain slaveryforced/ early marriagethe exploitation of migrant workers in conditions amounting to slaveryencampment of children

What is a restavek?

In Haiti, a restavek is a child who is given to a host family in hopes of achieving a better life. This often results in abuse from the host family to the restavek child.

Per Restavek Freedom, over 300,000 children are currently restavek, 60% of whom are female.

A day in the life of a restavek may include: 

Cooking and washing dishes for others (as a child)Washing laundry for others (as a child)Shopping alone in the market for others (as a child)Care forothersmall children in the host family (as a child)
