18 December - International Migrants Day

From Amnesty: "Dirty, degrading and dangerous"

"An estimated 90 million migrants live and work outside their country of birth, many of them having left in search of security and a sustainable livelihood. Many economies have come to rely on migrants who are prepared to work in what are often referred to as '3-D jobs' – dirty, degrading and dangerous with little security and low wages.

"Migrant workers are often subjected to a variety of human rights abuses by unscrupulous employers as well as host states. These include: non-payment of salaries; confiscation of passports and other documents; verbal and physical abuse; lack of proper housing and health provision; and arbitrary arrest and detention in abusive conditions."

Take action on International Migrants Day to prevent the exploitation of all migrant workers.
