The World Bank estimates that more than 200 million people can be forced to migrate due to climate change by 2050. There is no doubt about it: the climate crisis forces migration.

#CHOGM2022 @CMW87network @WalkFree
Climate change exacerbates vulnerabilities for those already most at risk of modern slavery and human trafficking. It increases inequality and drives migration – which are both risk factors for exploitation.
The links between climate change and modern slavery cannot be ignored.

We will host an event with @CMW87network and @WalkFree, discussing impacts of the #ClimateCrisis on #ModernSlavery, exploring challenges, good practices, and the roles of civil society and State actors.

CHRI UK's Director, Sneh Aurora, moderated yesterday’s discussion on Ending Violence Against Women and Girls at #CHOGM2022.
“Addressing gender-based violence requires a community-based, multipronged approach and sustained engagement with multiple stakeholders,” Sneh Aurora said.
