I am dedicated to fighting for rights holder agency and business responsibility to respect human rights. I cut out Amazon and Facebook long ago, and the time has come to depart this platform as well. You can find me on Blue Sky. It's nice there. #bizhumanrights

Too often, #DevelopmentProjects meant to drive economies actually harm the people they claim to help. We have a critical opportunity to protect people from these harms & we need your help!

“The brutal reality of Adidas workers today is hidden under the glossy advertising & hollow CSR-speak @Adidas uses; they center women’s empowerment in their stuff but the reality is that it’s built on exploitation" @cleanclothes tells @jasminchua

While it's a mark of progress that we saw more rights holders as speakers at the UN Forum this year, their voices serve as wake up call that urgent action is needed on a host of critical issues to advance business respect for human rights.… https://t.co/iFvFl1Milr

The analysis of the UN Forum this year left me with mixed feelings - inspired by rights holders yet daunted by the issues they raised and the work needed to ensure business respect for human rights. #UNForumBHR #bizhumanrights

A quick peek into actor positionality in complex supply chains: @shaunamc and I reflect on how the perspective of growers, as actors in the middle, is crucial for the success of initiatives that center workers.

"When you incorporate the voices of rights holders, everything changes. This realignment is needed on a much broader scale." - Gerado Reyes @CIW in his forthcoming article for the BHR Journal. Reflecting on this as I head home from the #UNForumBHR: https://t.co/17bzYJu0yy

As a follow-up to the @FairFoodProgram presentation at the #UNForumBHR, @AngeliniAnton and I wrote this post for the @BHRRC, exploring how placing rights holders at the center creates change https://t.co/ZUAYUisywI @CIW @WSRNetwork

NEW: As the EU weighs its #CSDD directive, a @SOMO brief lays out the dangers of reliance on discredited CSR & auditing schemes to protect #HumanRights

Instead, they point to Worker-driven Social Responsibility as the 1 model that puts rights-holders 1st

What a devastatingly moving speech by Ms. Earkama-Mee at the #UNForumBHR on the plight of indigenous human rights defenders “we are not doing this for fun. We are scared.” #BizHumanRights

The #UNForumBHR panel on human rights defenders (HRDs) features Thai, Mexican, Peruvian, Ugandan and Indigenous Siberian speakers. @ManushyaFdn’s Nada Chaiyajit laments the impotence of National Action Plans (NAPs). The laws still repress HRDs thru SLAPPs & defamation charges.

Excellent panel this morning at the #UNForumBHR on the importance of rights holder perspectives in the design of remedial mechanisms -- @AngeliniAnton and @ciw shared lessons learned and the way forward to advance worker-led human rights protections. @WSRNetwork

Powerful presentation from our #IndigenousPeoples sister #UNForumBHR ✊🏽 When we defend our lands and resources we are met with violent attacks and serious human rights violations - killing, detention and violence against indigenous women and girls, torture and others. #STOP
