SUMMARY:Realising a smart mix of measures for Communities Discriminated on Work and Descent in the context of business activities.
DESCRIPTION:Across the globe\, almost 270 million people are discriminated against\, based on their present or ancestral occupation\, descent or inherited status\, such as caste. Collectively\, they are known as Communities Discriminated on Work and Descent .They include Dalits in South Asia; Burakumin in Japan; Roma in Europe\, Haratine\, Osu and other communities in West Africa; Quilombola and Palenque in Latin America and diaspora living globally. They are the most marginalised and excluded in political\, social\, and economic development. Their marginal status is exacerbated further in the context of business activity intersecting with discrimination\, leaving them powerless; vulnerable to bonded labour\, modern slavery\, child labour and hazardous work. Women from these communities experience higher rates of poverty and discrimination and mostly end up in the informal economy without basic social and work protections.  \nThis session will explore the impact of business activity in the context of deep-rooted social structures such as discrimination based on work and descent\, and its adverse impacts on human rights. Speakers will discuss ways in which this can be addressed through the UN Guiding Principles and a smart mix of measures. This includes States taking steps to protect these communities from human rights violations by businesses and ensuring access to decent work; human rights due diligence and transparency in reporting of operations and supply chains by businesses; and a role for civil society to hold States and businesses to account.  \nModerator: Beena Pallical (Asia Dalit Rights Foundation) \nSpeakers:  \n\nProf. Surya Deva\, Special Rapporteur Right to Development\nDr. Nimalka Fernando (President\, International Movement Against All Form of Discrimination and Racism (IMADR)\nSalil Tripathi (Institute for Human Rights and Business) \nSimona Torotcoi (GFoD\, Europe)\n\nWednesday 27 November 2024\, | Time: 1.15 pm – 2.30 pm (CST) \nVenue: Salle du CAV \nRue de Varembé 1    \nZoom Link: https://theinclusivityproject-org.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIldeuqqz8jH9wd6Qh4Tgu2yAZn-_nA_BTe
