The human rights of migrants on a 2035 agenda for facilitating human mobility 2017, para. 49
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Migrants, especially those with a precarious residence status, are vulnerable to abuse and labour exploitation. Certain categories of migrants, such as migrant women and children, temporary migrant workers and undocumented migrants are more intrinsically vulnerable to abuse, violence and exploitation. The physical, sexual and psychological abuse of female migrant domestic workers appears to be widespread, and they are often exposed to health and safety threats without being provided with adequate information and support. For most migrants, it can be very difficult or impossible to obtain meaningful access to an effective remedy for rights violations.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on the human rights of migrants
