Donia Human Rights Lecture | Labor and Human Rights

Migration is a critical battleground in the struggle to shape the economic future. In the contemporary economy, the exploitation of labor operates through global networks of migration, mobilization, and forced labor. Capital leverages regional legal restrictions on mobility, the threat of deportation and the violence of immigration enforcement, gendered violence, and supply-chain specific strategies of control in order to keep workers contingent, vulnerable, and compliant. At the same time, the workers of the world have developed new strategies and raised new demands to fight for dignity and collective power against this exploitation. In her lecture, Global Labor Justic (GLJ) Executive Director JJ Rosenbaum will discuss campaigns, strategies, and tactics for holding employers and governments accountable. Specific strategies include transnational advocacy approaches, enforceable supply chain agreements (EBAs), and legal strategies that GLJ is currently deploying.
