📑 Policy@Manchester has supported a written evidence submission to the Modern Slavery Act 2015 Committee's inquiry examining the Act's impact and effectiveness. 💡 The inquiry also set out to consider how the Act’s provisions have been implemented, how it has been impacted by recent political developments, and whether it requires improvement. The published written evidence by Professor David Gadd and Professor Rose Broad uses their research to demonstrate how current policy decreases the protections available to those who are destitute and exploited.

Yes , modern forms of slavery or forced labor or neo bondage are on rise , we need to more research and trend analysis to understand the dynamics of modern forms of slavery. With greater influence of AI in our work programs the slavery or labor exploitation is on rise. Both in the organised and unorganised or informal sectors. Ironically, we are silent on such issues or ignorant. Hence, research can highlight voids in our policy and practice. Once these gaps are identified ( which are changing rapidly with advent of technology) then they can be plugged by policy interventions and deterrence.

On transitional justice In today's excellent and insightful seminar presented by Caitlin Reiger on transitional justice, my questions were: 1) Can transitional justice be successful if it is designed and implemented by the government accused of the mass crimes that necessitated the adoption of transitional justice? and 2) Can economic and environmental justice be part of transitional justice? On the first, she raised the problems of transitional justice, with the government being the designer and guardian of the process. On the second question, she gave examples of success stories for including economic justice as part of transitional justice. Title of the seminar: The evolution of Transitional Justice: From post-authoritarian settings to established democracies Venue: ANU CoL.

🔵 The phrase “transitional justice” is, perhaps, one of the most frequently used terms that is largely incomprehensible to people outside of the justice sector. Transitional justice work encompasses a wide range of activities aimed at furthering society’s ability to come to terms with the history and impacts of large-scale conflict, repression, and human rights violations. Transitional justice aims to provide recognition to victims, survivors, and families; to rebuild the trust of individuals in state institutions; to reinforce respect for human rights; and to promote the rule of law, all as critical steps towards reconciliation and the prevention of new violations. Find out more about the five pillars of transitional justice and Synergy’s recent work in the area in our May blog post: https://lnkd.in/dpYZZTii
