Member states of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) should use their collective bargaining power to seek greater protection for their nationals working in the Gulf countries, a US-based rights group said on December 19 which is celebrated globally as the International Migrants’ Day. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
In a letter sent to the Secretary General of SAARC, the Human Rights Watch (HRW) said that a SAARC regional protection initiative could significantly enhance the living and working conditions of workers in low-paid sectors from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bangladesh who routinely face violations of international labour standards and human rights law in the six Gulf states. </div>

<div>
</div>
<div>
“The Gulf countries should recognize the crucial role foreign workers play in their economies and take measures to ensure that their rights are fully respected,” the letter reads, “South Asian governments should join forces to press for reforms to end the terrible abuses against migrant workers that have gone on for far too long.”</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
“The deaths of hundreds of South Asian workers in Qatar have shone a spotlight on the appalling living and working conditions of low-wage migrant workers in the construction sector. However, abuses in many sectors persist in Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Oman and the UAE.” Migrant workers in these countries typically have their passports confiscated and are forced to work under the highly exploitative kafala system of sponsorship-based employment, which prevents them from leaving employers. SAARC should urge GCC countries to respect non-discrimination and equal treatment of migrant workers and their right to join trade unions and bargain collectively, HRW said.</div>',

SAARC Should Pressure Gulf Countries To Treat Workers Better
1 min 37 sec to read
--By TC Correspondent
Member states of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) should use their collective bargaining power to seek greater protection for their nationals working in the Gulf countries, a US-based rights group said on December 19 which is celebrated globally as the International Migrants’ Day.
In a letter sent to the Secretary General of SAARC, the Human Rights Watch (HRW) said that a SAARC regional protection initiative could significantly enhance the living and working conditions of workers in low-paid sectors from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bangladesh who routinely face violations of international labour standards and human rights law in the six Gulf states.
The six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries are Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
“The Gulf countries should recognize the crucial role foreign workers play in their economies and take measures to ensure that their rights are fully respected,” the letter reads, “South Asian governments should join forces to press for reforms to end the terrible abuses against migrant workers that have gone on for far too long.”
“The deaths of hundreds of South Asian workers in Qatar have shone a spotlight on the appalling living and working conditions of low-wage migrant workers in the construction sector. However, abuses in many sectors persist in Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Oman and the UAE.” Migrant workers in these countries typically have their passports confiscated and are forced to work under the highly exploitative kafala system of sponsorship-based employment, which prevents them from leaving employers. SAARC should urge GCC countries to respect non-discrimination and equal treatment of migrant workers and their right to join trade unions and bargain collectively, HRW said.

Member states of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) should use their collective bargaining power to seek greater protection for their nationals working in the Gulf countries, a US-based rights group said on December 19 which is celebrated globally as the International Migrants’ Day. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
In a letter sent to the Secretary General of SAARC, the Human Rights Watch (HRW) said that a SAARC regional protection initiative could significantly enhance the living and working conditions of workers in low-paid sectors from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bangladesh who routinely face violations of international labour standards and human rights law in the six Gulf states. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries are Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
“The Gulf countries should recognize the crucial role foreign workers play in their economies and take measures to ensure that their rights are fully respected,” the letter reads, “South Asian governments should join forces to press for reforms to end the terrible abuses against migrant workers that have gone on for far too long.”</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
“The deaths of hundreds of South Asian workers in Qatar have shone a spotlight on the appalling living and working conditions of low-wage migrant workers in the construction sector. However, abuses in many sectors persist in Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Oman and the UAE.” Migrant workers in these countries typically have their passports confiscated and are forced to work under the highly exploitative kafala system of sponsorship-based employment, which prevents them from leaving employers. SAARC should urge GCC countries to respect non-discrimination and equal treatment of migrant workers and their right to join trade unions and bargain collectively, HRW said.</div>',
