From Protocol to Practice: A Bridge to Global Action on Forced Labour

(The Bridge Project)

The Bridge Projectl Millions of men, women, and children are in forced

labour – trafficked, held in debt bondage, or working under slave-like conditions. The vast majority are exploited in the private economy, by individuals or enterprises, in various sectors (agriculture, construction, manufacture, domestic work, etc.)

l In June 2014, governments, employers and workers at the ILO International Labour Conference voted overwhelmingly to adopt a Protocol and a Recommendation which supplement the Forced Labour Convention, 1930 (No. 29), and provide specific guidance on effective measures to be taken to eliminate all forms of forced labour, in the areas of prevention, protection of victims and access to justice

l The Bridge Project will work globally, as well as in Nepal, Peru, Mauritania and Malaysia to support efforts to turn this guidance into practice

l The project will strive to eliminate traditional and state-imposed forced labour systems and to significantly reduce contemporary forms of forced labour, which are often linked to human trafficking, through the following objectives:i. Increase knowledge, awareness, and ratification

of the ILO Protocol and Recommendation;ii. Improve national policies and/or action plans

and/or legislation on forced labour with strong implementation, monitoring, and enforcement mechanisms;

iii. Increase efforts to collect reliable data in order to carry out research and share knowledge across institutions at national, regional, and global levels;

iv. Enhance workers’ and employers’ organizations ability to support the fight against forced labour; and

v. Increase awareness and access to livelihood programs for victims of forced labour.

l “50 for Freedom” is a campaign led by the

International Labour Organization (ILO) and

its partners, the International Trade Union

Confederation (ITUC) and the International

Organization of Employers (IOE)

l The campaign aims at promoting ratification of the

ILO Forced Labour Protocol and raising awareness

on forced labour, trafficking and modern slavery

l “The goal is to achieve at least 50 ratifications of the Protocol on Forced Labour by 2018” Beyond

this ratification goal, the campaign is an opportunity

to raise awareness about forced labour and to give

more visibility to what is concretely being done all

around the world to prevent and combat forced

labour and trafficking”
