Fernando Morales-de la Cruz at the entrance of the G7 Summit in Elmau, Germany.

Dear G7 Leaders,

You meet again while hundreds of millions of children continue to work across the world and while forced labour and modern slavery continue to infect global supply chains on a massive scale.

At the G7 Summits in Elmau, Hiroshima and Puglia, you committed yourselves to the elimination of child labour and forced labour in supply chains. All your governments also committed themselves under Sustainable Development Goal 8.7 to end child labour in all its forms and eradicate forced labour and modern slavery.

Yet despite those commitments, the exploitation continues.
