Malaysia is the world’s second-largest palm oil producer and a significant exporter of garments - two sectors critical to U.S. and global consumers and businesses, which have been flagged by the U.S. Department of Labor for potential forced labor and child labor issues. Building local capacity and awareness of rights is crucial to addressing these issues, as sustainable, long-term change depends on the ability of local actors to take ownership of labor issues and continually prevent, detect, and respond to violations.
