The MADE Working Group on Labour Migration & Recruitment, coordinated by Migrant Forum in Asia, calls on governments to implement Zero Recruitment Fees policies. The current activity of this working group is a petition to the Nepalese government, to stand firm on an important law passed in 2015 obliging foreign employers to bear the visa and flight ticket costs for Nepali migrant workers that they hire. A related activity, just-launched, is an online discussion on temporary labour migration programs, in which they are interested to hear from migrant workers, those working with migrant workers, or anyone with an interest in this topic.

At the moment of publication, the petition has 164 supporters of the 200 needed. You are all invited to sign!
