WELCOME

Pro Bono Legal Center has expanded its network of pro bono lawyers devoted to pursuing lawsuits on behalf of trafficking and slavery survivors. This year, together, we strive to achieve yet more, forging new partnerships.

During the next two days we will look at slavery in the supply chain, analysing how several industries are successfully adopting measures to improve safety, transparency and accountability. We will also look at the impact of the Arab uprisings on women in the Middle East and North Africa, assessing progress and failures, challenges and opportunities. We will address violence against women, comparing the prosecution process and legal protection offered to victims in Britain, the United States, South Africa and India. And we will consider the unintended consequences of family planning and healthcare strategies. STEPHEN MONIQUE VILLA DUNBAR-JOHNSON We are very grateful to our advisory board members, who have helped us shape this year’s agenda.

COMMITTED TO ACTION

FINANCIAL INDUSTRY JOINS IN EFFORT TO FIGHT HUMAN TRAFFICKING GLOBALLY

Trust Women is geared to action. One of the major commitments initiated at the 2012 Trust Women Conference was the establishment of an international financial working group dedicated to fighting human trafficking. It was launched in April by Monique Villa, CEO of the Thomson Reuters Foundation, and Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr.

The group – which includes some of the world’s biggest financial institutions – has agreed to share financial and technical information with U.S. law enforcement agencies, to identify the financial fingerprints of human trafficking. Leading NGOs working with trafficking victims have helped to identify the “red flags” bankers should be looking at to discover transactions linked to traffickers. It is a major initiative, and a concrete step in fighting a hideous crime that rakes in, every year, some $32 billion.

The organisations that are members of our working group are Bank of America, Citigroup, JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo, TD Bank of Canada, Barclays, plus American Express and Western Union.

Read the official press release: www.financialworkinggroup.trust.org Human trafficking is not a new issue. It’s been there, even at the time of our forefathers. No one in this world has ever dreamt of being trafficked nor ever wished it on someone else.

NE-ad.indd 1 15/11/13 11:21 MY CONNECTIONS Personal hygiene for women is a larger issue than soap and water

Personal hygiene for women is to a large degree a matter of access to knowledge and affordable products. SCA provides that to women in more than 100 countries. Personal hygiene is at the heart of a person’s identity and sense of dignity and wellbeing. Access to feminine and inconti- nence care products still infl uence whether or not girls and women can get an education, work or take part in public life in a number of countries around the world. This fact combined with the taboo surrounding menstruation and urine leakage, which affects 25 percent of women over 35 at some point, still makes everyday life unnecessarily diffi cult for many women.

This is an important dimension of ‘Women Empowerment’, an integral part of SCA’s sustainability strategy, since access to affordable personal care products contributes to women’s health, dignity and freedom. 80 percent of SCA's consumers around the world are women, and through our prod- ucts and knowledge-sharing we support women empowerment and freedom to participate fully in society – socially, educationally and professionally. SCA is the world leader in incontinence care with our global TENA brand, as well as a leader in feminine care with brands like Bodyform, Donnasept, Libra, Libresse, Nana, Nosotras, Nuvenia and Saba.

Team SCA will participate in the round-the-world Volvo Ocean Race 2014-2015, the world’s toughest offshore race, with the world's best women offshore sailors. Our all-female Team SCA crew will promote the message of women empowerment during their nine-month race around the world.

SCA is a leading global hygiene and forest products company with sales in about 100 countries under more than 60 brands. SCA has about 36,000 employees. Sales in 2012 amounted to SEK 85bn (EUR 9.8bn). More information at www.sca.com
