About Migrants Rights

Today, migration is a worldwide and intra- and inter-regional phenomenon accompanied by an increase in the violation of the human rights of the people concerned. Throughout the migration cycle, migrant workers and their families are victims of a wide range of human rights abuses. Some examples are: inadequate conditions of work, sexual abuse of female migrant workers, expulsion and arbitrary detention or irregular migrants, including unaccompanied children, difficulties with accessing social and economic rights, illegal recruitment practices, ill-treatment, inadequate housing, poor access to health care provisions and education, and the criminalisation of undocupmented migrants.
