A joint statement by G7 Trade Ministers has signalled that they are going to harden their stand to eradicate use of all forms of forced labour in global supply chains, including state-sponsored forced labour of vulnerable groups and minorities, including in the agricultural, solar, and garment sectors. COVID-19 crisis has made the situation worse than they have acknowledged in their statement that on any given day there are about 25 million people subject to forced labour worldwide.
