Ending Forced Labour: Partnerships for a Path Forward
According to the most recent data, approximately 28 million people are trapped in forced labour every day. These individuals span the globe and are present across nearly every industry. While there are a multitude of stakeholders working to end forced labor, more can always be done.
The Center for Strategic and International Studies, with the support of the ILO, will hold a discussion on the state of forced labor globally and what can be done to better combat it. Ambassador Cindy Dyer (Ambassador-At-Large for the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons, U.S. Department of State), will begin the event with a keynote address, followed by an expert panel.
Panelists will include:
- Thea Lee (Deputy Undersecretary for International Affairs, U.S. Department of Labor)
- Fernando de Oliveira Sena (Deputy Chief of Mission, Embassy of Brazil to the U.S.)
- Manuela Tomei (Assistant Director-General for Governance, Rights and Dialogue, International Labour Organization)
Michelle Strucke (Khosravi Chair in Principled Internationalism & Director, Human Rights Initiative, Center for Strategic and International Studies) will moderate.
