Strengthening the protection of migrant worker rights through ethical recruitment.

These resources help companies, civil society organizations, and governments tackle exploitative labor broker practices that trap workers in modern slavery.

A fair hiring framework for responsible business

Our Help Wanted Primer articulates the risk to multinational companies of forced labor and identifies the places within a company’s sourcing practices where recruiters present a reputational and legal liability.

Use this report to identify the needed changes in corporate practices and ways that brands and their suppliers can take action.
