C. Core agenda items for promotion
Ⅰ-7-1. The government should carry out more stringent management and
supervision of employers who, in bad faith, default on the payment of
migrant workers-related social security insurance premium, terminate
employment contracts unilaterally, and report workers’ unauthorized
departure from workplaces. The government should improve the
procedure for migrant workers’ receipt of social insurance protection to
guarantee workers’ right to live as decent humans.
Ⅰ-7-2. The government should ensure that the payment of migrant workers’
retirement allowance and wage is not delayed, and that the relevant
information is provided in multiple languages.
8. More stringent protection of women migrant workers’
human rights
A. Current status and problems
• Women migrant workers are more vulnerable to human rights infringement,
including threat of dismissal when they intend to report sexual offense, difficulty
in proving a case, uncertainty of reparation, longer time taken for investigation,
instability of employment, etc. Especially in the case of undocumented migrants,
they are a more vulnerable target because they are in a difficult situation to report
a case of sexual offense, which eventually leads to their deportation once the
case is closed. This further exacerbates the situation of human rights infringement.
