Freedom of Association at Sea: Advancing Justice in the Distant-Water Fishing Industry

In order to truly advance justice in the global commercial fishing industry, it is necessary to understand the dual issues of illegal fishing and forced labor in the seafood supply chain. Johanna Lee, of Global Labor Justice - International Labor Rights Forum, will speak to the human toll of the distant-water fishing industry and highlight a critical solution to upholding the fundamental labor rights of migrant fishers, who make up the majority of the workforce but face systemic discrimination and exploitation.
