Cultural Insensitivity

Slave Labor is not present in our country. What foreigners presume to be “slave labor” is actually traditional patriotic duty engrained into the mindset of our people. This misconception illustrates cultural insensitivity. The west seems to have forgotten that individualism is not a local value here-our population does believe in the power of the group and the necessity to participate in group economic development efforts.

However, the government is aware of and responsive to the labor concerns of international organizations and we are trying to develop creative ways to accommodate and cope with cultural insensitivity.
