Ye olde Pope Francis is at it again. In an address this week, he suggested businesses and consumers alike should help put a stop to modern slavery: Pope Francis is urging governments and legislatures to do more to end modern-day slavery, calling for better laws and policies to prevent human trafficking, protect victims and prosecute those responsible. Francis also urged businesses to ensure their distribution chains are free of slave labor and asked consumers to think twice about buying goods that may have been produced by child workers or other victims of undignified working conditions. Francis annual peace message, released Wednesday, focused on freeing the estimated 35 million people enslaved around the world. m.vatican.va/content/francescomobile/en/messages/peace/documents/papa-francesco_20141208_messaggio-xlviii-giornata-mondiale-pace-2015.html
