In this episode of Voices, John Morrison welcomes Margot Wallström to her new role as the Chair of IHRB’s International Advisory Council. As the European Commission gets serious about mandatory human rights due diligence for companies, the former Swedish Foreign Minister talks about businesses, why we need them, and why it is important to have a balanced environment where businesses can continue to contribute to society whilst respecting human rights - in particular workers' and women's rights. She also touches on the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic's implications and impacts on the rights of women.
