Paragraph
Paragraph text
Even migrant workers who have formal access to inspectors are reluctant to report violations for fear of deportation. In addition, migrants often have no legal rights or access to temporary accommodations to remain in country during legal procedures, thus preventing reporting and participation in legal proceedings. The lack of written contracts in the informal work environment renders it difficult to prove employment.
