Mexico labor rights and exploitation prevention
Overview
Mexico is advancing legislative and regulatory measures to combat exploitative labor practices. In the State of Mexico, Deputy Luisa Esmeralda Navarro Hernández has proposed a comprehensive draft law to amend the Children’s Rights Law, Education Law, and Penal Code to create a legal framework against child labor. This proposal, developed with input from minors, seeks to address child labor in informal commerce, agriculture, and domestic service.
At the federal level, the Secretariat of Labor (STPS) is developing a mechanism to detect and prevent the importation of goods produced through forced labor. Focusing on sectors such as textiles, apparel, footwear, aluminum, and solar panels, the initiative involves coordination with the Secretariat of Economy and the National Customs Agency. This effort includes a bilateral information-sharing agreement with the United States Office of Customs and Border Protection to monitor global supply chains and integrate human rights protections into international trade.
