VIDEO: OECD Side Session 2025

This OECD side session features a model of safe spaces for multi-sectoral dialogue developed by the Resilience Fund for Women in Global Value Chains. The Fund provides flexible funding to women-led organizations that work in and around global supply chain and focuses on women’s health, safety and economic resilience. Its Learning Hub structure convenes all Fund partners in a learning journey to understand the social contexts and challenges in value chain communities, through safe spaces, trust building, and non-transactional, real-time dialogue that enhances traditional "two way” engagement “conducted in good faith.” This session highlights why this model of multi-sectoral dialogue is crucial for any robust due diligence that is truly assessing human rights risks and adverse impacts in rapidly changing and dynamic contexts.
