Paragraph text
Article 11 of the Convention requires States parties to take effective measures against all forms of forced or compulsory labour by migrant workers. This includes debt bondage, passport retention, and illegal confinement, for example. Article 21 obliges States parties to ensure that employers and recruiters do not confiscate or destroy travel or identity documents belonging to migrant workers. States parties should provide training to law enforcement officers, and ensure that occupations dominated by migrant workers, especially women migrant workers, such as domestic work and some forms of entertainment, are protected by labour laws and subject to inspections.
