Section 105(b) of the Trafficking Victims Protection
Reauthorization Act of 2005 (``TVPRA of 2005''), Public Law
[[Page 32978]]
109-164 (2006), 22 U.S.C 7112(b), as amended by Section 133 of the
Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection
Reauthorization Act of 2018, Public Law 115-425, directs the Secretary
of Labor, acting through ILAB, to ``develop and make available to the
public a list of goods from countries that ILAB has reason to believe
are produced by forced labor or child labor in violation of
international standards, including, to the extent practicable, goods
that are produced with inputs that are produced with forced labor or
child labor.'' (TVPRA List).
The primary purposes of the List are to raise public awareness
about the incidence of child labor and forced labor in the production
of goods in the countries listed and to promote efforts to eliminate
such practices. The 2020 report, including a discussion of the List's
methodology, the updated List, and an updated bibliography of sources,
are available on the Department of Labor website at: <a href="http://www.dol.gov/ilab/reports/child-labor/list-of-goods/">http://www.dol.gov/ilab/reports/child-labor/list-of-goods/</a>.
