We speak with Nithya and Laurie about why the Brick industry in Cambodia has created a multigenerational workforce of adults and children trapped in debt bondage – one of the most prevalent forms of modern slavery in the world. This process of unfree labour has led them to coin the term 'blood bricks'. Working with other researchers they aim to highlight the injustices of modern day slavery, but also the wider political and economic forces which facilitate the blood brick system.
