The Freedom from Slavery Europe Regional Forum, on the topic “Harmonizing Efforts to Eliminate Forced Labor and Child Labor: Sharing Progress and Best Practices in Europe and Globally” will take place in Brussels from 5-7 May.
To ensure a rich discussion on these important topics, the Europe Regional Forum will bring together key stakeholders from Europe and a small, select number of participants from outside Europe to share their experiences and enhance learning. We will have speakers and attendees from governments, including Pathfinder and non-Pathfinder countries, business representatives, persons with lived experience, civil society organizations, employer organizations, United Nations agencies, EU representatives, EU agencies, and academics.
The Forum seeks to foster a clear understanding of progress and remaining gaps, enhance stakeholder coordination, and mobilize collective engagement to accelerate the fight against modern slavery. The Europe Forum is a collaboration between the Belgian Federal Public Service of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation, and Free the Slaves.
France, as a member of the Steering Committee for the Forum's preparation, remains committed to driving global action against forced labour and child labour.
When: 5-7 May
Where: Kingdom of Belgium, FPS, Foreign Affairs, Foreign Trade, and Development Cooperation; Place du Petit Sablon 8, 1000 Brussels, Belgium
