In December 2018, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) together with the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA), launched a 12-month inception phase of a project that aims to reduce instances of exploitative working conditions, forced labour and debt bondage experienced by Vietnamese women and men migrant workers in the context of international migration. The project is funded by the Global Fund to End Modern Slavery (GFEMS) and co-financing is provided by the IOM Development Fund.

To support preparation and piloting of tools and methodologies under the project, and with the objective of providing evidence on the migration journeys, vulnerabilities and risks to modern slavery of Vietnamese migrant workers, IOM will commission a qualitative research aimed to identify and analyse the risk factors, determinants and conditions of migrant workers’ vulnerability that give rise to exploitation and abuse that can amount to modern slavery. Findings from this research will further inform the project design for the coming years by identifying patterns of migrant worker experiences that need to be disrupted to sustainably reduce instances of modern slavery, including forced labour and human trafficking.
