Protestors criticise migration forum
Updated
In the Philippines, the 2nd Global Forum on Migration and Development opens today, to discuss policies and their impact on people movement and human rights.
The forum has drawn Labour ministers and officials from over 151 countries to Manila. The Philippines have long had a love-hate relationship with migration, with Filipinos working abroad accounting for much of the nation's foreign revenue. At the same time, there are others who view policies promoting the migration of Filipino workers as a modern-day form of slave labour, with little consideration for the welfare of the workers themselves.
Presenter: Sen Lam
Speaker: William Gois, regional coordinator for the Migrant Forum in Asia
