N2Y4 Featured Project: Slave-Free

SlaveFree

27million people enslaved - 2nd largest illicit crime in the world
Everyone is part of the crime, and everyone is part of the solution using mobile technology as the tool.

Slavery is in basically all of the products that we use.   The problem is that we need a way to determine if the everyday products we use were produced with slave labor.

Nobody wants to use products made with slavery
Nobody wants to produce products if its known they use slave labor.

Build a massive grid of consumer demand for slave free products by having people upload images of labels of products.

Q. The logic of taking pics of products that were already purchased.  
A. The ethos of this is that we're all in this together.   I didn't know but now I know.  

Q. How to combat areas with lax labor laws?
A. SlaveFree has a strict definition of slavery.   It does not include areas with lax labor laws and usage of sweat shops.
