Subject: It’s time to end modern slavery

Dear Friend,Modern day slavery is everywhere: from the cotton farms of
Uzbekistan, to domestic workers in Mauritania and cattle ranches in Paraguay;
from the fisheries in the Philippines, to the World Cup construction sites in
Qatar. The production chain of the clothes you wear, the food you eat, the
World Cup that you'll watch on TV is hiding a harsh reality for millions of
workers.  Call on your government to ratify the protocol to end forced
labour.Half of the 10 worst countries for workers in the 2015 Global Rights
Index have a structural problem of forced labour in their economy. Estimates of
workers in modern slavery have consistently risen over the last decades, today
ranging from an alarming 21 million to 36 million.The international community
is clearly not equipped to effectively address modern slavery. In 2014,
governments adopted a new global treaty to end modern slavery. The protocol
offers a framework to effectively eradicate forced labour, including human
trafficking and slavery-like practices, through a combination of measures for
prevention, protection and remedy. It calls for protection against abusive
recruitment of migrant workers and is the first binding treaty that calls for
due diligence by companies to prevent and respond to risks of forced labour in
their operations and supply chains.Without broad ratification, the protocol
will remain a paper tiger. Unless individual governments ratify, their
commitment from 2014 is false and the numbers of modern slaves will keep
rising.Don’t let that happen. Help ensure that this historic and unique
opportunity to end modern slavery does not go to waste.Please, take a moment to
tell your minister of labour to ratify the protocol now.Thank you for all you
do,Sharan Burrow
