A new report by Corporate Accountability Lab highlights the lack of oversight, regulation, and accountability in the seafood industry in India – which now provides 40% of shrimp for the U.S. Legal frameworks, social audits and certification schemes have not only failed to protect workers, but have actually facilitated a cover-up of their exploitation.
The Fuller Project, in collaboration with the New York Times, published an investigation into the sugar cane industry in the Indian state of Maharashtra. The report found workers ensnared by debt and pushed into child marriages and unnecessary hysterectomies.
New research from The Fuller Project and Foreign Policy has uncovered that despite the implementation of new regulations and trade protocols, workers in Pakistan's garment industry are still suffering multiple labor abuses. However, with the launch of due diligence rules, there is some hope on the horizon for these workers.
A new paper co-authored by the 11 members of the Inclusive Rigour Working Group has been published in Evaluation. The paper pulls from the working group’s collaboratively developed framework and argues for the need to reexamine what we mean by rigour, particularly in peacebuilding evaluation.
