With this Toolkit on Developing National Action Plans on Forced Labour, the ILO aims to support governments, employers’ and workers’ organizations and other key stakeholders in their efforts to end forced labour. Whether they are involved in developing, implementing or monitoring NAPs, they will find practical information in the Guidance Manual and associated Tools. The toolkit can also be a useful guide for ILO Specialists and practitioners that are supporting them in this process.

The ILO has developed a body of legal instruments, known as international labour standards (ILS), which aim to promote opportunities for women and men to obtain decent and productive work in conditions of freedom, equity, security and dignity. These instruments are drawn up by the ILO constituents – governments, employers and workers – and include conventions and protocols, which are legally binding international treaties that ILO member States are encouraged to ratify; and Recommendations, which serve as non-binding guidelines.

This tool explains the similarities and differences between important forced labour related concepts such as trafficking, slavery or worst forms of child labour.
