Combating human trafficking in supply chains
Video Clip
In a globalized economy, goods and services are regularly sourced from all corners of the globe, with the risk that these goods are produced by victims of human trafficking and forced labour. The OSCE works with States to adopt concrete measures to prevent human trafficking in supply chains and build their capacity to implement those measures. If States and businesses can identify and remove the risks of labour trafficking within their supply chains, they can eliminate the market that fuels exploitation.
