The political unrest in Honiara is a result of years of poor governance, leadership & conflict resolution. Another tragic time. Hope by now our leaders learn to deeply value & address our people’s concerns before their own. Pray for peace. Thank you ADF for support.📷 Shared 🇸🇧🙏

The #Pacific fishing sector is essential to the #economy of PIC’s, yet the reality of debt bondage, #humantrafficking, sexual abuse (and more) in the absence of adequate human rights actions during COVID-19 has in some cases exacerbated human rights violations.

OUT NOW: Tuna companies are failing to take meaningful steps to combat #ModernSlavery

The Pacific region supplies around 60% of the world’s tuna. Our latest research exposes glacial progress on action for workers who are trapped in modern slavery 🧵https://t.co/cavQL9RLYq

The United Nations refugee agency says more than 60 countries are using COVID-19 to skirt international law by closing borders and ports to asylum-seekers. That has contributed to an increase in delayed rescues at sea and unlawful expulsions. https://t.co/82zmGlxerg

A great pleasure to have @AusHCSols open the 2 day Modern Slavery in the Pacific Fishing Industry workshop.
Labour exploitation and Modern Slavery go hand in hand with the increase in global demand for fish. An important conversation beginning 🇸🇧🐟

[Australian High Commission, Solomon Islands @AusHCSols]

A workshop in Honiara this week is looking at how we can all do more to stamp out modern slavery in the fisheries sector in the Pacific. Glad 🇦🇺 was able to fund a new report which reminds us that exploitation can take many from from deceptive recruitment to paltry wages.

[Hilary Vanderwey @HVanderwey]

A pleasure to be leading the workshop in the Solomon Islands on Modern Slavery in the Pacific fishing industry. Key stakeholders join to discuss key findings and challenges in order to come together and work towards solutions. We’re taking the first step in a journey forwards.

[ILOPasifika @ILOPasifika]
