Human rights experts urge consumers to ask stores and restaurants about the origins of their products. There are nonprofit organizations focused on fighting human trafficking, some doing outstanding work.

Positive change can and does happen. There are companies that are meticulous in their sourcing. Journalism about soccer balls made by kids, blood diamonds, electronics, have all prompted change.

There are a few approaches. If you live near the sea, buy local. Also we've published a list of all the brands we tracked to supply chains tied to modern day slavery here: http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/slaves-peeling-shrimp-35750512 but those are only the ones we tracked.
