As part of the UN 2022 South Asia Forum on Business and Human Rights (SAF), IOE is pleased to invite you to its public side-session “Addressing Human Rights Challenges through Collective Action in South Asia” that will take place prior to the official launch of the SAF (28-30 March 2022). 

This digital side-session will take place on Friday 25 March 2022 from 18:00 – 19:30 (Bangladesh time, GMT+6) / 13:00 – 14:30 (CET). 

You can register directly here.

The side-session will include two panels covering the following key topics:

• Panel I – Best practices: Promoting respect for human rights through collective action in the region 
• Panel II – Working together: How can collective action be strengthened in the region?

Under the theme of collective action, peer learning and exchanges will take place during this 90-minute side session on business and human rights best practices in South Asia. Together, participants will identify common and practical ways to improve and implement the Business and Human Rights agenda. Particular focus will be given to issues such as:  

• Best practices and lessons learned from multistakeholder initiatives to foster human rights through collective action in the region.
• To raise awareness and build the capacity of the private sector and the civil society on key business and human rights instruments and facilitate peer learning exchange. 
• How to fully unleash the potential of Employers’ Organisations, companies, and the civil society at large for implementing the Responsible Business Conduct agenda?
• How can collective action be strengthened and how to increase and build trust among stakeholders in the Asian context?
• Which type of partnerships are, so far, working best in the region?

We invite you to take a closer look at the agenda in the "Resources" section.

We look forward to seeing you there!
