Gender is central to any discussion of the causes and consequences of migration, whether forced or voluntary. Melissa Siegel introduces the concept of migration and gender, specifically the feminisation of migration and its implications.

In the legislation of the European Union (EU), labour exploitation is considered either within the framework of human trafficking or within the so-called particularly exploitative working conditions. Based on the data collected by the EMN in 2022, only few EU Member States distinguish both realms in their national legislation. The panel discussion introduces examples of Italy and Luxembourg as EU countries as well as the United Kingdom who present their frameworks to protect (potential) victims of labour exploitation.
Among panelists are:
• Adolfo Sommarribas, Senior Legal Advisor, EMN Luxembourg
• Darryl Dixon, Director of Strategy at Government, UK Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA), The United Kingdom
• Giovanni Di Dio, Migration and Labour Integration Policy Specialist, Ministry of Labour and Social Policies, Italy

It also highlights a need for international cooperation with EU Member States and other countries to fight trafficking in human beings and undeclared work.

It explains specific risks and motivations why business has been engaging in human rights since 1990s. The presentation outlines current trends and reasons why business sector focuses on protection of migrant workers through the lens of risks. Labour exploitation is discussed as one of huge risks for migrant workers especially in different levels of supply chains across industries and within labour migration. Eventually, the presentation is looking into the future.

The presentation focuses on the mandate and activities of the European Labour Authority (ELA), the EU agency based in Bratislava, which strives to ensure fair labour mobility across the Union. The presentation explains where ELA encounters irregularities connected to labour exploitation, what makes labour inspectors unique in detecting labour exploitation, and why there is an overlap between what the labour inspectors and law enforcement authorities do in the area of labour abuse. It summarizes how ELA addresses trafficking for labour exploitation, especially when it comes to joint labour inspections, capacity building, as well as national and EU-level cooperation and the conflict in Ukraine.

The presentation considers the role, realities, and the future of the law in the fight against modern slavery based on the work of the Rights Lab of the Nottingham University, the largest research centre dedicated to putting an end to modern slavery. Based on the assumption that the interrelationship between slavery and the law has not always pushed in the same direction, the presentation focuses on the history of slavery and human exploitation as well as of abolitionism. It challenges a general notion that slavery is illegal in every country and provides evidence-based picture of current domestic laws against slavery, practices similar to slavery, servitude, forced labour and human trafficking around the globe.
