The Forced Labour Protocol Guide
The Forced Labour Protocol represents a vital opportunity for trade unions and their allies to obtain, through social dialogue and action, measures to end exploitative labour practices and to advance opportunities for decent work. Forced labour and human trafficking are products of the political economies in which they occur. That is, they emerge from the nature of the laws, policies and practices that govern employment, business and trade. Understanding the nature of the political economy of forced labour can enable trade unions and human rights activists to adapt advocacy strategies to advance decent work through appropriate national and international channels.
