Labour Exploitation Accountability Hub


The Labour Exploitation Accountability Hub is a unique, publicly accessible, source of information on individual and corporate accountability for human trafficking, forced labour and slavery, as well as an online platform for further research, network-building and advocacy around accountability issues. The Hub features:

  • A database of national laws and regulations addressing accountability for human trafficking, forced labour and slavery in 10 pilot countries. The database provides information on national laws and policies addressing exploitation, including criminal, administrative and labour laws.
  • Country summaries describing the country context, and providing further information on the key tools used to address forced labour and trafficking for labour in each country, as well as the implementation of those measures by government agencies and businesses.
  • A repository of resources on human trafficking for labour exploitation, forced labour, and slavery.
  • A blog that raises awareness of, and stimulate debate around, accountability issues.
