Side Event 11 - From Research to Action: the state of child labor and forced labor research and the need to build the evidence base to increase policy impact

The proposed event will describe the progress that has been made in building the evidence base on child labor, forced labor, and human trafficking. It will highlight important gaps in knowledge and efforts underway to bridge these gaps. It will also emphasize the importance of effective use of data, rigorous research, and targeted use of resources for direct services to better reach vulnerable populations and make the most effective use of limited funding across countries.

We need to work together to make research useful and available to speed-up policy action against child labour!
