Lesson-110810-14

The project research team and local research partners in both countries trained enumerators for the forced labor prevalence survey using real situations. The enumerators and researchers visited areas where garment sector workers either lived or frequented to practice administering the questionnaire. This allowed the enumerators to practice and confront problems and situations and learn how to resolve them before the actual survey work started. Another important aspect of the enumerator training was that key representatives from the Secretary of Labor, Employment, and Social Security; Executive Committee; Attorney General’s Office of Human Trafficking and Exploitation; and the National Institute of Industrial Technology participated in parts of the training that conveyed their interest and importance of the survey, which motivated the enumerators.
