Forced labour in Myanmar
The objective is to contribute and support the implementation of the Joint Government of Myanmar and ILO Action Plan to Eliminate Forced Labour by 2015 in line with international standards, in particular the Forced Labour Convention (C.29).
This Joint Action Plan provides a framework for ILO support towards eliminating the systemic use of forced labour in Myanmar.
The strategy is a combination of support to national legal and policy frameworks; capacity building of relevant institutions; awareness raising of rights and responsibilities of target groups; and provision of support services (such as livelihood skills training, community village infrastructure, social and economic reintegration services and legal support) to targeted individuals, including women, children, labour migrants, individuals and households in conflict-affected areas; victims of trafficking and former child soldiers.
