Abstract
The present Global guidelines on the prevention of forced labour through lifelong learning and skills development approaches describe the contribution of skills training to prevent forced labour, and are designed as a practical resource for policy makers, programme managers and educators in both formal and non-formal training contexts. Based on extensive research, they draw from a wide range of case studies and good practices identified at local and national level to offer evidence-based recommendations on how skills development systems may fulfil their role in reducing vulnerability to forced labour. They provide a rich selection of educational activities, resources and references to help educators raise awareness about forced labour, address risks, and play an active role in combating forced labour wherever they teach and train people.
