Under Watch

Southeast Asia

A worker performs his task while a manager watches from behind. Is he being supported, supervised or scrutinized? A photograph cannot tell us. Nor can a clean, modern factory reveal whether a worker is free to leave, speak openly or refuse an unsafe demand. What happens beyond what we can see determines the difference between work and exploitation. This image by Lisa Kristine was made possible by the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Foundation in Partnership with Human Thread Foundation to eradicate slavery and human trafficking.
