La police italienne a déclaré vendredi que le sous-traitant non autorisé de la marque - GA Operations - avait été placé sous administration judiciaire pour une période pouvant aller jusqu’à un an. Les enquêteurs ont découvert que cette société avait elle-même engagé un sous-traitant qui, à son tour, a engagé d'autres sous-traitants chinois non autorisés qui ont employé des travailleurs au noir, dont certains se trouvaient en Italie de man...

Le montant total des profits illégaux tirés du travail forcé a augmenté de 64 milliards de dollars (37 pour cent) depuis 2014, une hausse spectaculaire de 37% en dix ans pour atteindre 236 milliards de dollars annuellement. Une hausse alimentée à la fois par une augmentation du nombre de personnes forcées à travailler et par des profits plus élevés générés par l'exploitation des victimes. Le rapport intitulé "Profits et pauvreté: la dimension économique du travail forcé " estime que les trafiquants et les criminels génèrent près de 10 000 dollars par victime, contre 8 269 dollars (ajusté ap...

By Karine ALBERTAZZI et Marisol RIFAI Bordeaux (AFP) - Après avoir passé sous silence pendant des décennies son passé négrier, Bordeaux cherche à rattraper son retard sur l'épineuse question du devoir mémoriel, loin d'être évident entre la municipalité, les historiens et une association qui crispe par son militantisme. Plus de 30 ans après Nantes, qui s'est penchée dès 1992 sur sa responsabilité dans l'histoire de la traite négrière française et du commerce triangulaire, Bordeaux tente encore de se débarrasser des accusations de "mollesse" la concernant. "Il y a du changement, notamment grâce ...

Hundreds of events were held across the country, from New York to Los Angeles, and most notably in Galveston, Texas, the symbolic heart of the Juneteenth commemoration.

Washington (AFP) - Johns Hopkins, the celebrated philanthropist who supported the abolition of slavery and whose wealth allowed him to found the prestigious US university that bears his name, owned slaves, the Baltimore-based institution confirmed Friday. The revelation by the university, which boasts a long tradition of inclusion, comes as the United States continues reckoning with its own history of racism after widespread protests against discrimination earlier this year.
