SUMMARY:Roundtable on Forced Labor with Future Proof
DESCRIPTION:UTJD\, in collaboration with our network partners\, invites you to an exclusive\, high-level roundtable discussion focusing on state-sponsored forced labor\, with a specific focus on the ongoing crisis facing the Uyghur and other Turkic populations in East Turkistan. \nAs an independent nonprofit organization\, UTJD is dedicated to documenting human rights violations through the rigorous collection of victim testimonies and data-driven advocacy. This roundtable serves as a critical junction to bridge our data with practical corporate compliance and international legal frameworks. \nEvent Details & Registration\nRegistration Deadline: Wednesday\, June 18th at 2:00 PM in this online form.\nFormat: Our activities are anchored in in-person participation to foster meaningful dialogue\, and we strongly encourage in-person attendance.
