A/HRC/24/43 89. Governments must create long-term and nationwide awareness campaigns to disseminate information about relevant laws and risks of slavery, and mechanisms to detect, report and combat it must be widely disseminated to all stakeholders, not just to workers. B. Recommendations to international agencies and donors 90. Supporting the engagement of national Governments should be a priority for the international community and donor agencies. 91. To effectively tackle the contemporary forms of slavery, Governments at national and sub-national levels need sustainable, reliable and systematic assistance both of a technical and financial kind. 92. International agencies can assist Governments to develop strong legal and regulatory frameworks or revise existing frameworks, and promote the mainstreaming of policies against contemporary slavery, including across ministries and mandates such as poverty reduction, education, labour, social protection, health, trade, immigration and internal affairs. 93. International organizations should also support government efforts to build law enforcement capacity within public institutions; raise awareness of relevant stakeholders; build broad-based support for policies to eliminate contemporary slavery; develop and implement measures to assist victims of exploitation and prosecute perpetrators; and lead mobilization efforts for further financing and support. 94. Without sustained assistance from the international donor community, national Governments will lack the resources they need to effectively challenge the diverse and complex forms of abuse described in the present report. C. Recommendations to businesses 95. Businesses must also take action both inside and outside of their supply chains. They need to find creative and effective ways to work with business peers and partners, NGOs, trade unions, Governments and international organizations. 96. Companies should engage with other actors across their industries and sectors; advocate for global action on contemporary forms of slavery both unilaterally and through membership or multi-stakeholder organizations; adopt codes of conduct and other corporate policies that explicitly prohibit forced labour and contemporary slavery; ensure that these policies are integrated throughout the company’s management and performance systems; train all relevant staff, suppliers and other business partners on contemporary forms of slavery, and ensure that actions are taken beyond the first tier of the supply chain, where risks are greatest; and carry out risks assessments, audits and other forms of due diligence to determine, identify and root out any potential risk of exploitation. 21
