Hear from experts on a new model for tackling worker abuse and exploitation

Focus on Labour Exploitation (FLEX) and the WSR Network will be co-hosting this webinar to explore a new tool for tackling labour abuse in supply chains: Worker-Driven Social Responsibility, or 'WSR'.

Participants will hear from the WSR Network about how this novel approach to human rights enforcement in global supply chains can be adapted to transform labour conditions in different industry and country contexts. This will be followed by a presentation from FLEX on its soon-to-be-published research, which explores how WSR can interact with, and potentially strengthen, trade unions and labour inspection.

To learn more about WSR prior to the webinar, see this short video from WSRN.
