When a spotlight is shined on the supply chains of the world’s largest companies, they are forced to look deep into their sources and make change.

The child labor used in India is rampant, which is why Satyarthi remains vigilant in helping the children involved. In this talk, he speaks about how the demand for cheap labor fuels poverty and child labor, as well as what can be done to give the world’s children a hopeful future.
