Labour Export Policies

Stop Putting Profit Over People!

Labour export policies, common in countries like the Philippines, have transformed global work patterns. While these policies bring economic benefits to both the countries of origin and the host countries, they result in migrants being treated as financial assets. This situation reveals a global failure to protect the rights of migrants and refugees, particularly in accessing social services. Serious issues persist regarding the safety of migrant workers, their legal status, and their working conditions.

Systemic Exclusion
The new coalition of the Dutch government has signed an anti-migrant policy, reflecting this systemic exclusion. This event will explore Asylum Crisis Measurement and discuss how host countries like the Netherlands can protect undocumented migrants from the Global South against modern slavery and work exploitation.

How can we create awareness, unity, and a fighting spirit for undocumented people who serve the Dutch economy by working in low-wage jobs, cleaning houses, and taking care of children? They need to be treated with equity, not as second-class citizens.
