Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative (CHRI)

🤝 This research and its launch in Antigua & Barbuda are a collaboration between @FreetheSlaves and @CHRI_UK , with support from the @minderoo Foundation’s Walk Free initiative.

The report also explores #pathways for effective, rights-based responses, setting out key #policy considerations, #resolutions, and #recommendations.

⚠️ It highlights how impacts such as: • loss of #livelihoods • displacement • food & water insecurity • disrupted access to #education and #healthcare can significantly increase exposure to human exploitation.

🌪️ #Climatechange is not only an environmental issue — it is increasingly a driver of human vulnerability leading to human rights violations. This report examines how climate change and climate-related disasters intersect with risks of human exploitation in #SIDS.
