Human Rights Due Diligence and the Risk of Child Labour in the Global Operations and Supply Chains of Canadian Garment Companies

This side event will focus on human rights due diligence in the Canadian garment sector, by discussing the study undertaken by the Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise (CORE) on respect for child rights and the risk of child labour in global operations and supply chains of Canadian garment companies. It will include an interactive discussion with the CORE and representatives from the Danish Institute for Human Rights, the Centre for Child Rights and Business and Fashion Takes Action, on the study's implications for the Canadian garment sector and the practical steps that garment companies can take to prevent, address and remediate child labour, and strengthen human rights due diligence in their supply chains.
