QCPD’s MUST SEE 🔍 | Migrant Workers in Global Supply Chains  A newly released global analysis by the Business and Human Rights Centre documents the scale, severity, and systemic nature of abuse faced by migrant workers across global supply chains last year. Based on 747 reported cases in 2025 alone, the findings point to deeply entrenched structural dynamics where abuses are linked to certain benefitting economies and corporations, while those most affected are overwhelmingly coming from different regions. The data further highlights how exploitation is not isolated but embedded across sectors. The report underscores the severity and complexity of these abuses. Workers frequently experience multiple violations simultaneously, including breaches of employment standards and occupational health and safety, with at least 98 fatalities recorded. Access to remedy appears to be deteriorating, suggesting a broader environment of corporate #impunity and retaliation against those seeking #justice. Of particular relevance, the analysis also highlights how global trends (including conflict, the climate emergency, and increasingly restrictive migration policies) are compounding risks and reshaping patterns of vulnerability.  Recent cases, including recruitment practices affecting Kenyan workers in Gulf countries such as Qatar, further illustrate how deceptive practices, fee-charging, and unequal power dynamics continue to expose migrant workers to abuse across migration corridors. As advocates for the protection of vulnerable populations and stronger human rights oversight, QCPD welcomes this important contribution.  👉 Access the full analysis here: https://lnkd.in/ekGK8Hcr #QCPDMustSee #MigrantWorkers #BusinessAndHumanRights #HumanRights #LabourRights #SupplyChains #CorporateAccountability #ForcedLabour #Exploitation #Migration #GlobalGovernance #HumanRightsDueDiligence #SDGs #LeaveNoOneBehind #HumanRightsAdvocacy #EvidenceBasedPolicy #CivilSociety #InternationalLaw
