In short:
> Join us at this webinar where we'll present the new issue of the journal, which will focus on corporate accountability for #ForcedLabour in #SupplyChains. We'll have speakers from Canada, Peru, Germany, and India.
Longer:
> This webinar examines contemporary efforts to address forced labour in global supply and value chains through corporate accountability measures. Drawing on a new special issue of Anti-Trafficking Review, it considers the shift from voluntary corporate social responsibility initiatives to legally mandated and enforceable instruments, including due diligence laws, trade agreements, and import bans. Bringing together academic, labour, and advocacy perspectives from both the Global North and Global South, the discussion will explore the limits, implications, and possibilities of these approaches for understanding and addressing exploitation in global value chains.
Of course — 💯 recommended no matter what. ^~ ❤️🔥

«How the Climate Crisis Impacts Workers and Migrants» webinar recording.
🗓 2nd April 2026

💯 💯 💯 ❤️🔥
> The past decade has witnessed an unprecedented rise in global temperatures, with each year setting new records as the warmest. This increase—driven by human-induced climate change—results in more frequent and intense droughts, floods, erratic weather patterns, and natural disasters. These slow- and sudden-onset weather events make working conditions in already precarious labour sectors, such as agriculture, fishing, or garment production, unbearable. They also destroy many people’s homes and livelihoods, forcing them to undertake risky migrations or accept exploitative jobs, thereby increasing their vulnerability to exploitation and human trafficking. To unpack some of these dynamics, the Global Alliance Against Traffic in Women organised a webinar to analyse how the worsening climate crisis is impacting workers and migrants. Speakers discussed changing working conditions in countries across Asia, Africa, and the Americas, the strategies that communities are implementing to resist resource extraction and exploitation, and what steps workers are taking to protect their rights and improve their working conditions.
> The conversation was inspired by the latest issue of the journal Anti-Trafficking Review on this topic: https://antitraffickingreview.org/index.php/atrjournal/issue/view/36

I'm almost positively squealing here. ❤️🔥🌲📜💚🔥
One doesn't see this link highlighted often enough. 💖
Ofc it's GAATW noting it. ❤️❤️❤️
As they perfectly put it:
> GAATW sees the phenomenon of human trafficking as intrinsically embedded in the context of migration for the purpose of labour.

“The absence of large-scale #trafficking caused by the war in #Ukraine highlights the success of a rights-based approach to #migration, where granting migrants the right to travel, work, and access welfare and other services significantly reduced their vulnerability to trafficking.”
Excerpt from J Mendel and K Sharapov, “Re-politicising Anti-Trafficking: Migration, labour, and the war in Ukraine,” published in #GAATW's latest issue of Anti-Trafficking Review.
