Human rights and environmental issues in India's shrimp industry: study

A Corporate Accountability Lab study reveals significant human rights and environmental violations within India's shrimp industry, a major supplier to the US. The research uncovers forced labour, hazardous working conditions, discrimination, and inadequate industry certification effort. The report calls for action from US retailers, binding agreements for worker rights, and stricter enforcement of laws by both the US and Indian governments to address these abuses. Oceana emphasises the need for enhanced seafood traceability and transparency to prevent human rights violations in the seafood supply chain. (Deeper Blue)
