Description

This study examines the root causes of exploitation, forced labour, and vulnerabilities among migrant workers, identifying activities to address them. It proposes that action towards tackling human and labour rights challenges faced by migrant workers in international supply chains must result from a combined effort between various stakeholders, including brands, suppliers, recruitment agencies, civil society, governments and academia.

The study proposes an approach based on necessary action and results across six outcome areas: Knowledge, Recruitment Fees, Culture, Governance, Effective Remedy and Transparency. Establishing that no single public or private sector actor can drive change alone, it recognizes the complexity of exploitation in international supply chains and that related challenges cannot be resolved by one organization.
