Workers in Southeast Asia's shrimp industry suffer
regular abuse and sometimes live in what amounts to virtual slavery, a
human-rights organization said Wednesday.
The Solidarity Center report
says the global shrimp industry is worth about $13 billion
annually.
Sexual and physical abuse, debt bondage, child labor and unsafe
working conditions are common in Thailand and Bangladesh's shrimp processing
factories, the Solidarity Center said in a 40-page report.
