Job Brief

Conducting multi-sectoral consultations in Business and Human Rights

**About the Role**

The ASEAN-Australian Counter Trafficking program (AACT) is recruiting Thailand-based NGOs with a background in working with migrant workers in Thailand to conduct a series of related policy engagements in Thailand. Two to four NGO partners are anticipated to be selected based on their geographical areas of focus and networks.

**About the AACT program**

ASEAN-Australia Counter Trafficking (AACT) continues Australia’s long-running collaboration with ASEAN and its Member States to end human trafficking in the region. The program is a ten-year investment (2018 to 2028) principally working to strengthen the justice sector response to trafficking in persons, while advancing victims' rights. The program has established partnerships with government agencies, civil society, and businesses. We engage with all 10 ASEAN Member States in some capacity and have national-level programming in Cambodia, Lao PDR, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam.

AACT supports ASEAN Member States to integrate gender equality, disability and social inclusion (GEDSI) and protect the rights of victims of trafficking. The program has developed GEDSI and victim rights strategies to provide a conceptual framework and practical implementation approach to analyse and respond to GEDSI and victim rights challenges in countering trafficking. As a core program component, specific projects and activities to advance GEDSI and victim rights have been designed and implemented in collaboration with AACT's partners and stakeholders.

**Project context for multi-sector consultations**

Thailand is recognised as having significant prevalence of forced labour, primarily of migrant workers in labour intensive industries. This is largely in the private sector, in business operations and supply chains. The UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (B&HR) elaborates three pillars of Protect, Respect and Remedy, for which governments have the responsibility to protect, businesses have the responsibility to respect, and both have the responsibility to remedy violations of human rights. These Guiding Principles, adopted in 2011, were voluntary for businesses, yet recent years have seen a growing demand for more mandatory regimes for corporations to exercise their responsibility to ensure there are no human rights violations in their supply chains, and remedy any that occur.

Thailand has established itself as a leader in the region on business and human rights with the first national action, with the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) having leadership also in related sustainability and ESG reporting and standards. Thailand is now considering human rights due diligence legislation, mandating that businesses are responsible for any human rights violations throughout their supply chains.

As representatives of Thailand’s civil society, NGOs have served a key role in identifying forced labour trends and cases in Thailand, and in building relationships of trust with affected communities of migrant workers, as well as policymakers and business. NGOs have been effective in working with relevant stakeholders through long-term relationships, and engaging affected communities, victims/survivors, workers, government agencies and businesses, to collaborate to promote and protect the rights of migrant workers. Through their work, NGOs have provided a range of assistance in cases that provide learnings to inform policymaking.

**Roles and Responsibilities**

AACT seeks to collaborate with selected NGOs to conduct policy engagements, including multi-sectoral consultations on policy and practices, for policy priorities identified in Thailand. Under AACT’s policy engagement plan, this includes policies to address vulnerabilities to trafficking on:

- Reviewing and improving labour migration governance for foreign migrant workers in Thailand, improving protections and reducing cost and complexity in the process.
- Developing inclusive human rights due diligence legislation and policies, in consultation with civil society and the private sector.

Example activities will include the NGOs convening or contributing to consultations with business, workers’ representatives, relevant government agencies, academia and experts, in different geographical regions within Thailand to better understand and inform the policy development. On labour migration governance, this may include consultations and preparation of policy briefs on the situation of labour migration in Thailand and recommendations for longer-term rights based sustainability. On human rights diligence, this may include consultations on the B&HR guiding principles; Thailand’s B&HR National Action Plan; the evolving norms towards mandatory due diligence; relevance to human trafficking and modern slavery in Thailand; good practices and lessons learned; and Thailand’s planned/draft due diligence legislation.
