【Workshop】International Legislative Trends of Modern Slavery and Forced Labor

Many people still find the concepts of “modern slavery” and “forced labor” to be vague. Although domestic laws such as the Labor Standards Act, Employment Service Act, and Human Trafficking Prevention Act include relevant regulations, and the International Labour Organization (ILO) has outlined 11 Indicators of Forced Labor as reference points for identification, the general public struggles to fully grasp their implications.

With current international developments, the European Union (EU) passed the EU Forced Labour Regulation (EUFLR) on May 2, 2024, aiming to protect labor rights. In fact, from the early movements against sweatshops to the more recent legislation in Europe and the U.S. aimed at eradicating modern slavery and forced labor, the obligation for corporations to prevent human rights abuses has become an international trend.

In this workshop, Taiwan Labour Front and TTNC Watch have invited Professor Lee Chien-Hung from the Department of Labor and Human Resources at Chinese Culture University to analyze the legislative trends on modern slavery and forced labor globally. This analysis will serve as a reference for future advocacy efforts related to domestic legislation and corporate human rights monitoring actions.

Location: Tò-uat Bookstore (No. 3-1, Zhenjiang St., Taipei)

Speaker: Professor Lee Chien-Hung, Department of Labor and Human Resources, Chinese Culture University

現代奴隸與強迫勞動國際立法趨勢工作坊

許多人認為,所謂「現代奴隸」和「強迫勞動」概念仍模糊,縱使國內包括勞動基準法、就業服務法及人口販運防治法已有相關規範,且ILO也揭示了「11項強迫勞動指標」作為辨識之參考,但社會大眾仍無難以清晰掌握其樣貌。在當前國際趨勢的發展,歐盟於202452《歐盟市場內禁止強迫勞動製造產品》,希望藉以維護勞工權益,事實上,從早期的反血汗工廠,到後來歐美各國亦先後完成杜絕現代奴隸、強迫勞動等相關立法,強化企業預防人權侵害的義務,已成為國際趨勢。

本次工作坊,台灣勞工陣線及TTNC邀請了文化大學勞動暨人力資源學系李健鴻教授,分析國際現代奴隸與強迫勞動立法趨勢,作為未來國內倡議相關立法及企業人權監督行動之參考。
