Every human on earth should be required to read this book to truly understand the human cost to your rechargeable devices. This reality is beyond horrific and if you have any humanity left you should at least read this to bear witness to the suffering behind our privilege.

This passage sums up the book:

“The depravity and indifference unleashed on the children working at Tilwezembe is a direct consequence of a global economic order that preys on the poverty, vulnerability, and devalued humanity of the people who toil at the bottom of global supply chains.”
