18th December is International Migrants’ Day. Observed since 2000 in response to increasing global migration figures, the theme for this year is to honour migrants’ contribution to society and to bring attention to their human rights. As stated by ILO Director General Gilbert F. Houngbo, ‘Migrant workers are indispensable in addressing global labour shortages and contributing to economic growth’ (Read more on that here ➡️ https://loom.ly/ANML_fA). Businesses have a crucial role to play in ensuring that all workers are treated fairly and that their rights are protected. Stronger Together have a variety of resources available to support the implementation of best practice, including: 💡 Fair work policy template 💡 Multi-language worker awareness posters and leaflets 💡 Employer checklists for implementing responsible recruitment and mitigating labour exploitation risks 💡 Plus more!

For the last day, we’re sharing our Spain awareness video ‘Two Stories One Land’. The short film depicts stories based on real information and reports, sharing the experience of migrant workers, both of whom travelled to Spain from Morocco on the promise of a job but encounter very different realities. Workers can find themselves in the hands of unscrupulous individuals or recruitment agencies and with companies that fail to implement best practices to ensure the dignity of their workers, resulting in exploitative situations. ✅ Developed in consultation and with input from agriculture businesses, victim support and human rights organisations ✅ Available in 5 different languages and with subtitles ✅ Ideal for training sessions on labour exploitation and modern slavery #raisingawareness #exploitation #agriculture #humanrights #spainagriculture
