SUMMARY:What works (and does not work) in reducing vulnerability to forced labour and human trafficking of migrant women workers?
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for this afternoon event and drinks reception with key leaders in the field to: \n1. Hear latest lessons and evidence\, including from the ILO’s 10-year long Work in Freedom programme.\n2. Discuss implications and how we can collaborate to achieve progress globally. \nSince 2012\, the International Labour Organization (ILO)\, with support from the UK’s Foreign\, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO)\, has implemented a flagship programme to test innovative ways to tackle forced labour and human trafficking. In collaboration with multiple development partners\, Work in Freedom (WIF) has been a large interregional programme that has supported migrant women workers along important labour migration pathways in South Asia and parts of the Middle East. Following ten years of implementation\, the programme has documented a rich set of lessons learned that can help guide future efforts to tackle similar challenges. Please join us for a presentation of these findings alongside a panel discussion to hear from other leaders in this field. \nDiscussion will focus on three sets of issues in particular: \n• What works and doesn’t in addressing unfree labour in migrant women workers’ destinations. \nThis will include a review of the conventional prevention\, prosecution and protection approaches and other non-conventional anti-trafficking interventions. See: Lessons learned Part 3: Policy and programme responses to unfree labour in destination countries for migrant women workers \n• What works and doesn’t work in implementing anti-trafficking programmes in countries or regions of origin for migrant women. \nThis will include a review of safe migration interventions and policies including pre-departure orientation and training\, pre-decision orientation sessions\, and other. For more information see: Lessons Learned Part 1: Outreach to migrant women in areas of origin. \n• What works and doesn’t in promoting fair recruitment of migrant women workers. \nThis will include a review of training programmes for recruitment agencies and mapping of recruitment practices. See: Lessons Learned Part 2: Recruitment of migrant workers. \nGeneral information on the Work in Freedom programme is available here. Research supported or linked to the programme can be found here. \n\n\nAgenda \nVenue: Lecture Theatre 3\, King’s College\, Bush House\, North East Entrance\, 40 Aldwych\, London WC2B 4BG \n14.00- 14.15: Welcome and introductions \n\nOverview of Work in Freedom programme and the issues it addresses\nRegional and global context\nHousekeeping points\n\nKey speakers: \n\nProfessor Dan Hunter\, Executive Dean\, Dickson Poon School of Law\, King’s College London\nAndrew Clayton\, Senior Social Development Adviser\, FCDO\nPhilippe Vanhuynegem\, Branch Chief\, Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work\, ILO\n\n14.15- 15.15 ILO Presentation of Findings \nPART I: Working in migrant destination areas(30 mins) \n\nPresentation of lessons\nResponses and Q&A\n\nPART II: Supporting women in areas of origin (30 mins) \n\nPresentation of lessons\nResponses and Q&A\n\nKey speakers: \n\nIgor Bosc\, Chief Technical Adviser\, Work in Freedom\, ILO Arab States\nNeha Wadhawan\, National Programme Coordinator\, Work in Freedom\, ILO India\n\nRespondents: \n\nAlessandra Mezzadri\, Reader in Development Studies\, SOAS\nNatalie Sedacca\, Assistant Professor of Employment Law\, Durham University\n\nModerators: \n\nSamita Sen\, Professor\, University of Cambridge\nMike Dottridge\, Independent Consultant\n\n15.15-15.30 Coffee Break (Arcade Exhibition\, Bush House) \n15.30-16.00 \nILO Presentation of findings \nPART III: Promoting fair recruitment (30 mins) \n\nPresentation of lessons\nResponses and Q&A\n\nKey speakers: \n\nIgor Bosc\, Chief Technical Adviser\, WIF\, ILO Arab States\n\nRespondent: \n\nAlessandra Mezzadri\, Reader in Development Studies\, SOAS\nNatalie Sedacca\, Assistant Professor of Employment Law\, Durham University\n\nModerator: \n\nMichael Dottridge\, independent consultant\nPrabha Kotiswaran\, Professor of Law\, King’s College London\n\n16.00 – 17:30: Panel Discussion \n\nImplications of WIF lessons\nWider evidence in this field\nWhat do we need to focus on globally to achieve progress?\n\nPanellists: \n\nJoanna Ewart-James\, Executive Director and Co-founder\, Freedom United\nTomoya Obokata\, UN Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of slavery\nAndrew Patrick\, UK Migration and Modern Slavery Envoy\, FCDO\nPhilippe Vanhuynegem\, Branch Chief\, Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work\nPatricia Hynes\, Professor of Social Justice\, Sheffield Hallam University\n\nRespondents (at end) \n\nIgor Bosc\, Chief Technical Adviser\, WIF\, ILO Arab States\n\nModerator: \n\nMichael Dottridge\, independent consultant\n\n17.30 – 18.00: Drinks Reception  (Arcade Exhibition\, Bush House)
