Lesson-150535-1

Workers may fear retaliation as a result of openly discussing workplace violations, which makes it imperative to establish a safe environment when encouraging workers and employers to engage directly. Therefore, consulting and working directly with both parties is important to ensure that do no harm principles are closely followed. Direct engagement with the private sector and workers can contribute to understanding how to address challenging and underreported or hidden child labor, forced labor, and violations of labor standards and acceptable conditions of work. The All Hands In Kenya project has been able to work primarily through employers’ organizations and workers’ organizations. While this has provided insight, the project team has not had an opportunity to fully reflect the direct voices of workers who are most impacted by violations of international labor standards and acceptable conditions of work.
