Calls grow for PM Carney to clarify Canada’s stance on the issue amid fallout from comments made by Liberal MP Michael Ma that appeared to cast doubt on reported human rights abuses.

The government is deciding what to focus on next. This agenda will be laid out in the King’s Speech in May. It’s our moment to let them know that BHREA should be a priority.

This is what #forcedlabour looks like when it is built into a government contract rather than a supply chain.

The legal question is whether GEO is liable. The prior question is who designed a detention model where this was economically rational.

The UK needs both forced labour bans to avoid becoming a dumping ground, and mandatory human rights due diligence to prevent exploitation upstream.

That’s pro-growth, pro-business economics.

Warning over Christmas presents made by slaves Britain is at risk of becoming a “dumping ground” for Christmas presents produced by slave labour, the modern slavery commissioner has warned.

But in more hopeful #modernslavery news, @unseenuk.bsky.social, the Independent Anti Slavery Commissioner, Omnia LLP, and Forward Global are proposing effective legislation to tackle #humanrights and #forcedlabour abuses in supply chains uk.news.yahoo.com/warning-over...

Who said this and why ?

“I’m working … my ass off on the Christmas stuff, that you know … who gives a f*** about the Christmas stuff and decorations? But I need to do it, right?”

#Slavery is not just a grim memory.

#ModernSlavery counts more than 50 million people around the world: #HumanTrafficking, #Forcedlabour and more.

Unaccountable global #SupplyChains and toothless #DueDilligence do little to help it.

We can end this.
