Employment agencies in Ethiopia often mislead women about wages and working hours overseas, keeping their passports to prevent switching agents.

Social networks drive trust🫶 & collaboration🤝 in the anti-slavery movement. Despite its importance, network building isn't well understood or measured

See how @ignitedword @Freedom_Fund use Social Network Analysis to guide support to leaders in Brazil

In solidarity with the factory workers in S.Korea 🙌 Hopefully this will spur on the union movement in https://t.co/gnevzCbbCk!

Excited to share this new report by @NYUMarron @UMassLowell @Freedom_Fund 🙌

The hidden nature of domestic work makes accurate info hard to find. This study fills a vital gap by spotlighting the voices of Ethiopian migrants in the Middle East🌍 #MigrantWorkers #LabourTrafficking

[The Freedom Fund @Freedom_Fund]

A new report from @NYUMarron & @Freedom_Fund investigates the experiences of women migrant domestic workers from Ethiopia in the Middle East. 75% interviewed experienced some form of abuse & most did not know of any org that could help them.

While this @journalismfest discussion is targeted at journalists, a lot of relevant lessons for researchers too!

How do you convey the scale of the issue without losing focus on individuals?

How do you convey the depth of harm without sensationalising?

@UNUCPR @heavencrawley @AngharadSmith11 @AnitaNISER @AMADPOC @INUREDHAITI 🎯 SDG 16.9 enshrines the right to documentation & a legal identity, acknowledged as being crucial to protect people against exploitation. Yet, no empirical data links the two. Phase Two of our project will explore this in more depth - stay tuned! 🤓

[Yuki Lo @yukilo]

Thrilled to see this published! Grateful for the chance to work with the wonderful team at @UNUCPR on this global evidence review! 🙏 Immense thanks to @heavencrawley, @AngharadSmith11, @AnitaNISER, Linda Oucho at @AMADPOC & Louis Herns Marcelin at @INUREDHAITI   🧵

[UN University Centre for Policy Research @UNUCPR]

850 million people around the world lack official documentation. This global evidence review is the initial output of a @UNUCPR project with the @Freedom_Fund to explore the role that access to official documentation plays in perpetuating #modernslavery.

Extraordinary investigation by
@meghara @nytimes, shedding light on the spiralling debt and unnecessary sterilisation suffered by women in the sugar supply chain

Shame on @CocaCola who was warned about child labour and forced labour on these farms *5 yrs ago* and did nothing 👎

[The New York Times @nytimes]

The Indian state of Maharashtra is a sugar-producing powerhouse. But a Times and @FullerProject investigation found that soft-drink makers help finance a brutal system of labor that exploits children and leads to the sterilization of working-age women. https://t.co/tA4H7rU0DV

[The Freedom Fund @Freedom_Fund]

In Nigeria 🇳🇬 89% of child domestic workers reported conditions that violate national laws, and 53% usually work 7 days a week without a rest day

Grateful for the chance to work with the exceptional Prof Michele Ford at @seacsydney on this study in Indonesia 🇮🇩

📢"Supporting workers to organise is ultimately the most successful way to achieve long-term, grassroots-driven change in the #seafood sector" Couldn't agree more!
