Human rights of migrants in the post-2015 development agenda 2014, para. 81
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Yet, irrespective of their legal status and circumstances, migrants most often do not seek redress for the human rights and labour standards violations that they suffer, given that they live in fear of detection, detention and deportation. This holds especially true for the most marginalized migrants, including those in an irregular situation and live-in migrant domestic workers, the overwhelming majority of whom are women.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on the human rights of migrants
