Planet of the Ood, and discussion around it, put it into my head to post a few links:
Anti-Slavery International
We tend to think of slavery as part of the past, but millions of people around the world are currently held in forms of slavery.
(Similarly, we think of piracy belonging to a glamorous past, when it's a billion-dollar criminal industry which includes kidnapping and murder.)
Are the Doctor's shoes the product of sweatshop labour? (SPOILERS for Planet of the Ood.)
For Australians curious about who makes the clothes we wear, check out the Fair Wear campaign. (A similar organisation, though one I'm not familiar with, is the Clean Clothes Campaign.)
