Migrants

Globally, migrants are most often denied basic human and national citizens’ rights because of their precarious status. They lack legal protection and access to participation in political processes which might enable them to fight for their rights. Consequently, they are especially vulnerable and exposed to exploitive and inhumane working conditions.
