Human Trafficking on the Human Rights Dilemmas Forum
28 October 2009 - A Dilemma Workbook has been launched on the Human Rights Dilemmas Forum, examining how companies can ensure they are not inadvertently assisting human trafficking and that there is no human trafficking in their supply chains. You are warmly welcome to participate in the forum - it can be done anonymously.
The Human Rights Dilemmas Forum is an interactive web-based forum to address and discuss dilemmas confronting multi-national companies in their efforts to respect and support human rights. The Forum is part of a project funded by the GE Foundation and implemented by Maplecroft for the UN Global Compact.
The Forum features interactive Dilemma Workbooks, company case studies, as well as moderated online discussion sites to allow users to suggest, analyze and comment on suggested good practice.
Companies, NGOs, international organizations and members of civil society are invited to actively participate in the Forum, which can be accessed at http://human-rights.unglobalcompact.org
The Forum also offers companies the opportunity to highlight positive action they have taken in responses to human trafficking. Companies interested in contributing relevant case studies are encouraged to contact dilemmasforum@maplecroft.com
For further information, please contact Ursula Wynhoven of the UN Global Compact Office (wynhoven@un.org)
