Example Grants
- 2011: Our work on forced labour has helped raise the profile of forced labour in Northern Ireland —including being recognised in Northern ireland questions in the UK parliament, and being picked up by some employers in the food industry. Policy makers and researchers from across Europe have made use of a JRF-funded paper on forced labour from Klara Skrivankova. This paper describes how forced labour is best seen as one extreme of a continuum from decent work to forced labour. It has advanced conceptual thinking on forced labour, contributing to a greater clarity in the way forced labour can be seen and that can have real value in developing and improving responses to the problem.
