Part II ＞ Our Efforts and Transformation other when there is violation of rights. We are aware that the Fisheries Agency and Ministry of Labor will strengthen the evaluation and oversight of multinational fishing crew agencies through close collaboration. However, we recommended banning domestic fishing crew agencies from recruiting foreign fishing crew through illegal foreign fishing crew agencies. Additionally, like many rights groups, we suggest direct wage payment to foreign fishing crew without going through the agencies and that the government should solve the problems in international currency exchange by inter-ministrial or transnational collaboration to reduce high-amount service charges and loss on current exchange. iv. Combating forced labor at sea and timely grievance handling: Diversified channels should be established on distant water fishing vessels so that fishing crew could timely and effectively file grievances. Forced labor on fishing vessels involves many government agencies. Hence, an inter-agency joint investigation platform should be established and frontline staff and law-enforcement officers should be trained and be sensitive to human trafficking so as to take charge of the situation and make timely decisions in the first instance. We have distributed widely, extensively both the Mandarin and English versions of Road to Migrant Fishers’ Rights for promotion. With this special report we urged the Executive Yuan to speed up the establishment of a “Action Plan for Fishers & Human Rights” which was approved on May 20, 2022. In reference to international conventions, we proposed seven strategies, e.g. the improvement of working conditions, of living conditions, of social security, of brokerage management, of the capacity of the monitoring and management mechanism, of FOC supervision, development 54 National Human Rights Commission 2022 Annual Report and deepening of international cooperation, and advocacy of good partnership, to systemically optimize the rights and interests of fishing crew. We will continue to follow up on the recommendations made in the special report and oversee the Fisheries Agency in amending the relevant regulations. Through continuous reform, we are committed to protect the rights of fishing crew by taking vigorous actions in the road to migrant fishers’ rights. b. Protection of the right to childcare for migrant workers in Taiwan The investigation of the Control Yuan in recent years found that the number of issues relating to the right to work and the right to childcare of migrant workers after getting pregnant in Taiwan is increasing. Despite the investigation and corrective measures of the Control Yuan, issues relating to the right to nationality, health, and education of stateless or homeless children and youth remain unsolved due to the hiding of missing pregnant migrant workers or the absence of a marital relationship between their biological parents. These groups of children and youth would only be assisted through individual cases by government departments after being exposed by the media or in critical moments needing desperate help. However, such expediency can never address the root cause brought by current laws. Using our powers, we initiated a special inquiry into migrant workers’ child-rearing problems in Taiwan by resolution at the 13th meeting of the first cohort of the NHRC on February 8, 2021. We are well aware that ensuring the labor rights and the reproductive rights and easing the worries about dismissal after pregnancy are essential to prevent migrant workers from missing after pregnancy and the subsequent birth and stateless children issues. Despite the
