Welcome from organizers

Summary
Lorenzo Guarcello and Kelly Gleason introduce the Global Research Agenda and Policy Intervention Guidance (PIG) tool developed under the Research to Action (RTA) project. The Agenda outlines priority research areas to advance global efforts against child labour, forced labour, and human trafficking. The forthcoming PIG tool will increase access to promising policies that research has shown to accelerate progress toward eliminating child labour and forced labour. Then, they introduce the upcoming session on “Human rights and legal commitments”.
