The List Required by the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2005 (updated January 2, 2025) compiles research and evidence on goods produced by child labor or forced labor across multiple countries. Mandated by U.S. law, the list aims to inform the public and guide procurement decisions by identifying products—such as bricks, carpets, coal, diamonds, and garments—linked to exploitation. Drawing on hundreds of sources, including NGO reports, media articles, and government documents, the list highlights the urgent need for global efforts to address forced labor and child labor in supply chains, offering a critical resource for policymakers, companies, and advocates promoting ethical sourcing.
