LexisNexis and STOP THE TRAFFIK’s joint report looks at the link between the tea industry and human trafficking

LONDON (PRWEB UK) 23 December 2015 -- LexisNexis® Legal & Professional (http://www.lexisnexis.com), a leading provider of content and technology solutions, and STOP THE TRAFFIK a leading Non-Governmental Organisation dedicated to the eradication of human trafficking, announce the publication of their joint report – 'Not My Cup of Tea'.

It is estimated there are 7 million new human trafficking victims each year, lured into involuntary servitude and sexual slavery.

Post this

Globally, people drink over 3 billion cups of tea every day and consumption has grown by 60% in the last 20 years. Tea production is labour intensive and, to meet this increasing demand, plantations are fuelling unique forms of vulnerability to human trafficking. ‘Not My Cup of Tea’ highlights the labour practices and working conditions on tea plantations within India, Kenya and Sri Lanka. The poor conditions drive workers and their families into the hands of human traffickers, who use false promises of a new life away from the plantations to lure people into forced labour and sexual exploitation.

Tom Ogburn, LexisNexis Managing Director for Business Insight Solutions, notes: “It is estimated there are 7 million new human trafficking victims each year, lured into involuntary servitude and sexual slavery. The gross and unjust economic exploitation of vulnerable people, especially women and children, is a direct consequence of the absence of Rule of Law. LexisNexis is committed to actively working to advance the Rule of Law through its day-to-day business, products and services, and its actions. We are privileged to have developed this report with STOP THE TRAFFIK to help raise awareness of the effect of human trafficking and to highlight the progress being made towards change.”

‘Not My Cup of Tea’ focuses on the 2,107 English language articles identified in the Nexis® Human Trafficking Awareness Index™ directly relating to human trafficking and the tea industry, in the period 1st January 2013–1st September 2015. Using a licensed collection of the most influential news sources from more than 120 countries, the LexisNexis® Human Trafficking Awareness Index™ measures media coverage of human trafficking to highlight key trends at national and global levels. The Index is designed to support the work of campaigners, organisations and others who are interested in understanding perceptions of human trafficking in the media.

Ruth Dearnley OBE, and CEO of STOP THE TRAFFIK explains: “You can’t stop what you can’t see. LexisNexis has been working with STOP THE TRAFFIK to shine a light on the issue of trafficking in the supply chains of chocolate, clothes and now tea. This report lays out the challenges and highlights the importance for both consumers and company directors to understand the issue, know how it affects them and what they can do about it. Change happens when everyone engages. When we can see it, we can work together. We can ‘stop the traffik’."

‘Not My Cup of Tea’ will be of interest to campaigners, consumers and businesses. In particular, it should be of value to Supply Chain and Procurement Directors seeking to better understand human trafficking in their supply chain and how analysing media coverage can support better supply chain risk management procedures.

The report is free to download: Not My Cup of Tea
