Migrant worker’s right to health 2013, para. 26

Paragraph
Paragraph text
Some States prohibit agencies from recruiting workers or a class of workers, such as domestic workers, to countries or employers who habitually deprive migrants of adequate rest, nutritious food, medical care and sleep. However, as this may result in migrant workers seeking riskier routes to foreign employment, sending States should ensure that bilateral agreements with receiving States provide for strong protections and enforcement mechanisms against abuse and exploitation.
