Thanks @karynbkk

If you want to make Real the #modernslavery in our global #supplychains I tweet so much about (& new laws for biz attention to so we end it), here is a personal account (from an extreme end of the spectrum), from A Brave Man Vannak Anan Prum @CSR_Michael #seafood David Schilling

"We waded through water up to our necks, and lifted the children who couldn’t reach the surface. Some had suitcases, but no one had passports or documents. I had nothing but the clothes on my back." PRUM VANNAK ANAN, The Dead Eye and the Deep Blue Sea #DeadEyeDeepBlueSea

"The guides made us lie down on top of each other in the back, three people deep, four sideways, and three across. I was put on the bottom layer. I felt that I was suffocating." PRUM VANNAK , The Dead Eye and the Deep Blue Sea #DeadEyeAndTheDeepBlueSea #modernslavery

"I didn’t know it then, but we wouldn’t see each other again for five years." PRUM VANNAK #DeadEyeAndTheDeepBlueSea #modernslavery #endslavery

"I asked a man when I would go home. He answered, “Did you pay to get here?” I said no, and he said, “Well, stop asking questions. You have been sold.”" - PRUM VANNAK #DeadEyeAndTheDeepBlueSea #modernslavery #EndSlavery The Dead Eye and the Deep Blue Sea- on sale everywhere.

"The boat was small, but it became my whole world. I knew that I could die at any moment and just disappear beneath the sea without a trace." - PRUM VANNAK #DeadEyeAndTheDeepBlueSea ON SALE EVERYWHERE bit.ly/2p6J0su #modernslavery #endslavery
