Five actions to help SMEs end forced labour by 2030

Time to act

Over 80 participants joined the webinar and more than 160 people joined the online discussion. Together, they identified  the following priorities for action.

  • Inequality equals vulnerability. We need to address root causes.
  • Formalize the informal: Formalizing SMEs reduces vulnerability.
  • SMEs need to access information in a way that is meaningful to them via local institutions.
  • Working in partnership with SMEs yields results and should happen more often.
  • The above priorities for action must be part of ‘building back better’.
