59. Article 41 of the Constitution provides freedom to enter, remain in and leave the country and to travel within the country. Government has not imposed any restrictions regarding travel to and from to other countries. However, many migrant workers are faced with a number of limitations in their movement, which make them vulnerable for exploitation and human trafficking. Many of migrant workers employed in the construction industry are often housed within the premises of the worksite, leaving them with no option but to stay there for all purposes. Similarly, many migrant workers are left without work upon arrival and often their agent abandoned them in small apartments with no food, work or legal documents. In an alien country, with no support system and unable to communicate in the native language these migrants are afraid to move freely in the country. They also do not have adequate information on how to seek assistance and are reluctant to seek help due to fear of arrest or deportation. 60. It is not only migrants who come for unskilled labour at private sectors who are subjected to such exploitations but at times professionals also face various exploitations such as confiscation of the legal documents. It is a common practice to confiscate passport of the migrant workers by the employer and the agents. Maldives Police Services have found passports and work permits of migrant workers withheld by many of the recruitment or employment agencies working in the Maldives.25 Chapter: Article 8: Prohibition of Slavery Source: Human Rights Commission of the Maldives 31
