On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the Protocol of 2014 to the Forced Labour Convention, the Competition will award a special prize dedicated to reporting on forced labour and trafficking in persons.
GENEVA (ILO News) – The International Labour Organization (ILO) is launching the tenth edition of its annual Global Media Competition. Its aim is to distinguish fair and balanced media reports on labour migration. This is especially important because of the impact that negative and stereotypical public narratives can have in terms of fueling discrimination and abusive practices towards migrant workers.
The competition is open to professional and student journalists and will be judged by a panel of international migration, forced labour and journalism experts. The winning entries will be selected according to a range of criteria that takes into account creativity, accuracy, balance and the positive portrayal of labour migration, including the multidimensional aspects of migrant workers’ lives.
