Forced Labor Bans: Can Trade Policy Improve Conditions for Workers in Global Supply Chains?

Under the current Administration, trade policy and related investigations have been linked to efforts to decrease forced labor in global supply chains.  In this session, we will be joined by Dr. Laura Murphy and Ms. Anasuya Syam, both experts on trade policy and forced labor, in conversation with local labor organizers and interested investors to assess the impact of these policy changes on the treatment of workers in global supply chains.
