Program priority / Protection & access to information

Migrant Worker Protection

Promoting fair treatment, decent work, and protection from exploitation.

The purpose

Why this matters

Unpaid wages, contract substitution, confiscated documents, and discrimination can leave migrant workers exposed to abuse. Rights awareness and stronger protection pathways are central to MRPO’s priorities.

Who this priority focuses on

Migrant workers, including women and young people vulnerable to exploitation.

Our priorities

  • Raise awareness of migrant worker rights and fair treatment.
  • Support discussion of workplace exploitation and barriers to protection.
  • Promote cooperation around information, advocacy, and appropriate referral.

Opportunities to collaborate

Worker rights education, training, referral cooperation, research, and technical assistance.
