Abstract

In 2017, the G20 pledged to implement immediate and effective measures to eliminate forced labour, human trafficking, and other forms of modern-day slavery. Such declaration of commitment is impactful, given the G20’s economic and political heft. This Policy Brief focuses on how the G20 can lead efforts to put survivors of human trafficking back in society’s mainstream. To prevent survivors from being re-trafficked and help them establish a foothold in resuming their lives, it is crucial to provide them with market-relevant skills training that would allow them to find reliable sources of income. Building upon case studies of skill development programmes being implemented by both governments and non-government organisations in developing countries in South and Southeast Asia, this Policy Brief outlines recommendations for the G20 to facilitate the promotion of these initiatives.
