#Migrantworkers from #Bangladeshi need nearly 18 months on average to recover the costs they pay to migrate, leading to other forms of exploitation, including #forcedlabor. That's why employer should pay migration costs— @ilo thedailystar.net/news/banglades… @GCMigration @CIVICUSalliance

From our allies @ituc statement on #IMRF2022: Global Compact for migration: good intentions but weak on labour standards ituc-csi.org/global-compact… #Migration2022

#ClimateCrisis is a threat multiplier, worsening inequalities & vulnerabilities. Rebooted #GlobalCompactOnMigration process needs to ensure #HumanRights are protected in diff. migration contexts - esp. for at-risk cohorts like women, OVCs, elderly, minorities, undocumented #LNOB

Article today by Shannon Lederer and Neha Misra, both members of WIMN, as part of @GCMigration and @FESonline Spotlight Report initiative. What would a workers-first migration agenda look like? opendemocracy.net/en/beyond-traf…

At a time when many governments view migrants and asylum seekers in a hostile way, it's critical to respond to migration in a way that centers human rights. #IMRF #Migration2022 3/3

As the Global Compact for Migration meets this week, a strong commitment must be made by all to put migrant workers at the center. They're the ones who make the journey from home to employment site and experience exploitation along the way. @ICCRonline @InvestForRights @BHRRC @UN

#Migrantworkers "often face additional hardships including #genderbasedviolence & harassment in the world of work & their communities, unequal pay & access to social protection"—Sara Al-Khatib @SolidarityCntr at IMRF regional meeting #Migration2022 @IOM_MENA @GCMigration

Now is the time to think boldly about the structural shifts needed to address pervasive injustices and scale up commitments to laws, policies and investments that support decent work for all. #Migration2022 @GCMigration opendemocracy.net/en/beyond-traf…

1/5 "Gender-responsive promise of the GCM will only be possible if women’s human rights, (and) international labour standards…are fully incorporated into all national, regional and global migration policy." Today we are farther from those goals. WIMN statement. #Migration2022

A social crisis forced us to leave our homes, our country, our families. And here we are, working honestly. But many people don't understand that—Jhonniel Colina, #migrantworker from #Venezuela in #Colombia @UNIDAPPCOL youtu.be/PwooJQOGDTw @GCMigration @FES_Migration
