> 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 is organising a webinar to analyse how the worsening climate crisis is impacting workers and migrants. Speakers will discuss 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 governments must take to protect people’s rights and well-being. 

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.
