SUMMARY:Beyond the Audit
DESCRIPTION:“Virtually every brand stained with evidence of human suffering in their supply chains has offered ‘independent social audit reports’ to reassure stakeholders. There must be more to regain confidence and triage trust. Transparency today means also including worker voices that corroborate any reports from consultants paid for by suppliers in factories where workers may be exploited. \nNew regulations and emerging legislation for mandatory due diligence disclosure on forced labour\, modern slavery and environmental impacts are taking force in Australia\, EU and around the world. These laws are changing the expectations on businesses. \nThe Million Makers initiative enlists workers to assure audits. Based on the Bluenumber self-sovereign digital ID and co-designed by Be Slavery Free and Unseen UK\, it covers all 11 ILO indicators. The approach establishes a long-term pattern of ‘wellness’ at production facilities based on tens of thousands of data points from workers. It can match a top down audit with a bottom up worker audit. Million Makers paints a high-resolution picture of your supply chain risks.”

SUMMARY:Borders\, Bills and the Hostile Environment
DESCRIPTION:“While the UK has passed a chilling set of bills to limit public protest\, erode citizen rights\, criminalise refugees and GRT communities and otherwise disproportionately impact BIPOC people in the UK\, this event will hear from people who are fighting at the frontline of resistance. \n  \nTopics will include:\n\nWhat are the similarities between the nationality and borders bill\, and the PCSC bill?\n\n\nHow are borders being used as a site of violence and control?\n\n\nWhat is the relationship between capitalism and borders?\n\n\nHow does homophobia\, racism and other forms of oppression uphold borders?\n\n\nHow can we understand the tightening of borders within the context of growing far-right politics?\n\n\nHow do these policies disproportionately impact BIPOC communities?\n\n\nDoes this reflect a rejection of the UK’s commitment to the Refugee Convention?\n\n  \nSpeaker lineup:\nChelsea McDonagh: Chelsea is a researcher\, Irish Traveller activist and writer. She speaks on a wide range of issues affecting Gypsy and Traveller people including education\, health\, policy and politics.

Particularly\, Say It Loud Club strives to improve the health and wellbeing of Lesbian\, gay\, bisexual and other sexual minority refugees and asylum seekers.
