About the author
Siddharth Kara is an author, researcher, and activist whose work examines forced labour, human trafficking, child labour, and the economic systems that make exploitation profitable.
His books include Sex Trafficking, Bonded Labor, Modern Slavery, and Cobalt Red. The latter reports from mining communities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and connects working conditions to global battery supply chains.
Where to start
Start with Cobalt Red for Kara’s investigation of cobalt, then use current independent supply-chain evidence when assessing particular companies or mines.
