Caught at Sea - Forced Labour and Trafficking in Fisheries
31 May 2013
This report examines recent literature and consolidates existing knowledge about forced labour and human trafficking in the fisheries, with the focus on fishing vessels engaged in commercial marine fisheries. It considers institutional and legal frameworks as well as multistakeholder initiatives that have the potential to affect the safety, living and working conditions of fishers. It also echoes the discussions of a consultation on forced labour and human trafficking in the fishing sector, held by the ILO in September 2012 and which identified some key priorities for a global action programme.

ILO indicators of Forced Labour
01 October 2012
This booklet presents an introduction to the ILO Indicators of Forced Labour. These indicators are intended to help “front-line” criminal law enforcement officials, labour inspectors, trade union officers, NGO workers and others to identify persons who are possibly trapped in a forced labour situation, and who may require urgent assistance. The indicators represent the most common signs or “clues” that point to the possible existence of a forced labour case.
