Do you have any idea where the superfoods - like açaí berries - that go into those fancy bowls or smoothies, actually come from? Julia Vargas Jones traveled deep into the Amazon to find out and the images she returned with might shock you. #myfreedomday https://t.co/mcokON6HnG

It may be hard to fathom, but in some parts of the world, people are still paying off the debts taken by their distant ancestors. As part of #MyFreedomDay this year, @mchancecnn introduces us to the Harawa-Charawa of Nepal. https://t.co/OFD0vnsl4b

Her images of children forced to work are both illuminating and unsettling. Ahead of @CNNFreedom's #MyFreedomDay, we sit down with renowned photographer @lisakristine to find out what she hopes other people take away from her work. https://t.co/bBpuax0uVH

Ever wonder whether public awareness campaigns actually make a difference? Ahead of #MyFreedomDay, check out this wonderful story from CNN's Vedika Sud @vedikas about what took place shortly after @A21's Walk for Freedom last fall. https://t.co/sJGwkKTLhu

[CNN Freedom Project @CNNFreedom]

Child labor doesn't just happen in the least developed countries. Increasingly, it's also happening in places like the United States. Joanna Ewart-James of Humanity United illustrates the problem, while CNN's David Culver highlights a recent case outside LA. #MyFreedomDay

The signs of modern-day slavery aren't always obvious. Here's how you can tell if a friend or acquaintance may be in trouble. #MyFreedomDay https://t.co/lRXcZsI2p5

For girls and young women trapped in modern slavery, dropping out of school may be a sign that something is wrong.

Last year, a nonprofit in Bolivia used CNN's annual #MyFreedomDay to help 16 underage girls who were being trafficked. Find out more at https://t.co/ejLXBiQ6yr

They're educated, tech-savvy... and have been trafficked into forced labor in SE Asia.

A growing number of professionals across Asia are being forced into cyber-scam ops to work as cybercriminals.

Activists say high-profile raids have not ended the nightmare.
