Within the framework of SESRIC’s Social Development Capacity Building Programme (SD-CaB), SESRIC, in collaboration with the International Labor Organization (ILO), organised a Webinar on “Good Practices in Preventing Discrimination at Work and Forced Labour”.

The webinar aimed to bring together representatives from ministries and government agencies in OIC countries responsible for addressing discrimination and forced labour. It facilitated knowledge sharing and the exchange of best practices tailored to the unique challenges and opportunities present in OIC countries.
