Siddharth Kara on sex trafficking and the horrors of modern slavery in cobalt mines

Siddharth Kara is an author, researcher, and activist. He has been documenting the realities of modern slavery around the world, and pushing for accountability. Siddharth is the author of the devastating "Cobalt Red: How the Blood of the Congo Powers Our Lives," as well as "Sex Trafficking: Inside the Business of Modern Slavery," among other titles. I spoke with him about the realities of sex trafficking around the world and the horrors of the cobalt mines, which feed the West's endless hunger for new technologies, particularly in the form of "green" electric vehicles.
