BSS, Dhaka :
The International Labour Organization (ILO) responded to corporate calls for help to prevent forced labour and human trafficking.
The ILO will set up a Global Business Network on Forced Labour and Human Trafficking to help business address the challenges of forced labour and human trafficking in an increasingly complex global setting, according to a release received.
“The ILO has worked with representative business groups for nearly a century and has longstanding experience in the fight against forced labour,” said ILO Director-General Guy Ryder. “This experience has highlighted the value of peer-to-peer exchanges that create a conducive environment for sharing information and resolving problems.”
The release said the Global Business Network will offer members unique opportunities and solutions bringing together the ILO’s lead and expertise, and a global network spanning 187 member States. It will provide members with hard-to-find data and information on emerging trends, and allow businesses to anticipate and to adapt to rapid change across the world.
