For generations, thousands of low-caste families in southeastern Nepal have been trapped in a form of bonded labor known as Harawa-Charawa. @mchancecnn shares their stories in a report from Nepal for @CNNFreedom. Full piece here: cnn.com/videos/world/2024/03…

Do you have any idea where the superfoods - like açaí berries - that go into those fancy bowls or smoothies, actually come from? Julia Vargas Jones traveled deep into the Amazon to find out and the images she returned with might shock you. #myfreedomday cnn.com/world/americas/acai-…

Children in Brazil are climbing 70-foot-high trees so you can eat açaí berries | CNN

In Macapá, Brazil, children climb trees as tall as 70 feet without a harness to pick açaí berries that are sold around the world.

It may be hard to fathom, but in some parts of the world, people are still paying off the debts taken by their distant ancestors. As part of #MyFreedomDay this year, @mchancecnn introduces us to the Harawa-Charawa of Nepal. cnn.com/videos/world/2024/03…

Child labor doesn't just happen in the least developed countries. Increasingly, it's also happening in places like the United States. Joanna Ewart-James of Humanity United illustrates the problem, while CNN's David Culver highlights a recent case outside LA. #MyFreedomDay

At Dansol High School in Lagos, students are commemorating #MyFreedomDay by dressing up as famous freedom fighters from history, including Nelson Mandela and Rosa Parks. Students tell @StephanieBusari the rationale of this exercise is to "remember the lessons of the past."

They're educated, tech-savvy... and have been trafficked into forced labor in SE Asia. A growing number of professionals across Asia are being forced into cyber-scam ops to work as cybercriminals. Activists say high-profile raids have not ended the nightmare. @CNNFreedom @ILO
