A Handbook for Employees was presented in Yerevan today. The book
has been published by joint efforts of the International Labor
Organization and the Republican Union of Employers of Armenia within
the framework of the Program of fighting trafficking in Armenia,
Georgia and Azerbaijan.
According to the report on forced labor, 12.3 million people in the
world have been subjected to trafficking, among which 9.8 million
have been exploited by private employers.
According to the President of the Union of Employers, Arsen Ghazaryan,
the handbook aims to help prevent trafficking.
"The objective of the manual is to present the problem to the employers
and the public, as well as prevent the outflow of labor force from
Armenia, which endangers the national gene pool and results in the
loss of professional jobs," he said.
According to Philip Hunter, the author of the handbook, "This is a
guidance material and very practical tool addressed specifically to
business actors and to employers of organizations to identify what
forced labor is, what trafficking is, to clarify these issue on the
basis of ILO and other international standards."
