Director-General of the International Labour Organisation (ILO), Gilbert Houngbo, has urged international community on need to do better to ensure the world’s 169 million migrant workers are able to realise their basic human and labour rights.
Noting that too many of the 169 million migrant workers in the world today are unable to exercise their basic rights, he said this leaves them invisible, vulnerable and undervalued for their contributions to society.
While saying migrants do not only go missing on high-risk and desperate journeys, Houngbo stated that many domestic, agricultural and other workers are isolated and out of reach of those who could protect them.
