I am dedicated to fighting for rights holder agency and business responsibility to respect human rights. I cut out Amazon and Facebook long ago, and the time has come to depart this platform as well. You can find me on Blue Sky. It's nice there. #bizhumanrights

💥ACT💥 Too often, #DevelopmentProjects meant to drive economies actually harm the people they claim to help. We have a critical opportunity to protect people from these harms & we need your help! 🖊️Urge @IFC_org to guarantee #Justice for communities: https://t.co/ED1LuYpTzy 🧵

“The brutal reality of Adidas workers today is hidden under the glossy advertising & hollow CSR-speak @Adidas uses; they center women’s empowerment in their stuff but the reality is that it’s built on exploitation" @cleanclothes tells @jasminchua

This wasn't a protest in the "traditional sense," but rather an "alternate reality" of how Adidas could promote workers' rights, the agitators said.

While it's a mark of progress that we saw more rights holders as speakers at the UN Forum this year, their voices serve as wake up call that urgent action is needed on a host of critical issues to advance business respect for human rights.… https://t.co/iFvFl1Milr

The analysis of the UN Forum this year left me with mixed feelings - inspired by rights holders yet daunted by the issues they raised and the work needed to ensure business respect for human rights. #UNForumBHR #bizhumanrights

A quick peek into actor positionality in complex supply chains: @shaunamc and I reflect on how the perspective of growers, as actors in the middle, is crucial for the success of initiatives that center workers.
As a follow-up to the @FairFoodProgram presentation at the #UNForumBHR, @AngeliniAnton and I wrote this post for the @BHRRC, exploring how placing rights holders at the center creates change https://t.co/ZUAYUisywI

"When you incorporate the voices of rights holders, everything changes. This realignment is needed on a much broader scale." - Gerado Reyes @CIW in his forthcoming article for the BHR Journal. Reflecting on this as I head home from the #UNForumBHR:

NEW: As the EU weighs its #CSDD directive, a @SOMO brief lays out the dangers of reliance on discredited CSR & auditing schemes to protect #HumanRights Instead, they point to Worker-driven Social Responsibility as the 1 model that puts rights-holders 1st https://t.co/ik1qk8pGeF

The EU Commission’s proposal for a directive on corporate sustainability due diligence includes a dangerous overreliance on industry schemes.

What a devastatingly moving speech by Ms. Earkama-Mee at the #UNForumBHR on the plight of indigenous human rights defenders “we are not doing this for fun. We are scared.” #BizHumanRights

The #UNForumBHR panel on human rights defenders (HRDs) features Thai, Mexican, Peruvian, Ugandan and Indigenous Siberian speakers. @ManushyaFdn’s Nada Chaiyajit laments the impotence of National Action Plans (NAPs). The laws still repress HRDs thru SLAPPs & defamation charges.

Powerful presentation from our #IndigenousPeoples sister #UNForumBHR ✊🏽 When we defend our lands and resources we are met with violent attacks and serious human rights violations - killing, detention and violence against indigenous women and girls, torture and others. #STOP
