World of Work Podcasts by the ILO
Are you a small- or medium-sized enterprise (SME) owner or employee? Then this podcast series is for you.
In three short episodes we introduce you to forced labour, share the latest figures, show you how to spot the signs, and point you in the direction of useful tools and resources. Even better, we introduce you to three SME owners/directors who are taking on forced labour and child labour and making a difference.
In this introductory episode Laura Greene, network coordinator, is interviewed by Mariska van der Linden, a consultant working with ILO GBNFL. Laura gives practical examples relevant to SMEs based on her personal experience and the latest evidence. She answers the following questions:
• What is forced labour?
• How big is the challenge we face?
• What are the signs of forced labour a SME is likely to spot?
• Why could SMEs be game changers when it comes to eradicating forced labour?
