theme was the need for stronger and more consistent laws at both international and national levels.

The discussion stressed that anti-trafficking measures must be built into crisis response and protection systems for people uprooted by war and disaster."},{"key":"decent-work-prevention","label":"Decent Work and Social Protection","description":"Prevention was repeatedly tied to inclusive development, decent jobs, fair recruitment, labour inspection, education, and social protection. The panel stressed that reducing poverty and exploitation in labour markets is central to reducing vulnerability to slavery and trafficking."},{"key":"survivor-centered-response","label":"Survivor-Centered Response","description":"Multiple speakers argued that anti-trafficking policy must be trauma-informed, victim-protective, and shaped by survivor leadership. Survivors were presented not only as beneficiaries of support, but as essential partners in designing solutions and pushing for change."},{"key":"supply-chain-accountability","label":"Supply Chain Accountability","description":"Several interventions focused on forced labour in global supply chains and the responsibility of companies, investors, and regulators. The discussion emphasized human rights due diligence, transparency, and moving beyond voluntary or box-ticking approaches to real corporate accountability."},{"key":"multistakeholder-partnerships","label":"Multistakeholder Partnerships","description":"Speakers consistently called for coordinated action among governments, UN bodies, civil society, businesses, local communities, and survivor groups. The discussion framed effective prevention and enforcement as impossible without broad partnerships, political will, and sustained cooperation."}]}}
