Raising awareness : forced labour features through images

The project aims at eliminating all forms of forced labour through awareness-raising on forced labour issues, reinforcing the ILO’s complaints mechanism and promoting community empowerment. Through the project a series of short films will be developed. These will take the form of short-documentaries (15 minutes each approx.) representing the different faces of forced labour, notably child and bonded labour, traditional forced labour, trafficking for forced labour, and forced recruitment with an emphasis on underage recruitment. The ILO will work with local partners, to jointly develop a message that effectively raises awareness on what constitutes forced labour, the harm it causes to men, women and children, and what they can do to prevent and combat it. The short-documentaries will be based on ILO’s experience in the field and will notably use the ILO’s complaints mechanism network of over 800 facilitators during the pre-production and production phases as source of relevant information, testimonies and dissemination thereafter.
