Fair pay

Excessive interest on loans

People trafficking

The illegal movement of individuals, often for forced labor or sexual exploitation, which goes against Islamic principles and Christian beliefs.

Labour rights

Rights related to fair pay, working conditions, and hours worked that are often ignored in exploitative situations, such as in textiles factories with unsafe conditions.

National Living Wage
