MBHR Asia Fact Sheet
Labour migration is a defining feature of global economy and is a powerful driver for development. However, its full potential can only be realized if migrant workers have access to their human and labour rights, as articulated in the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda and the Global Compact for Migration. This includes access to safe and regular labour migration pathways that ensure ethical recruitment, facilitate labour mobility and decent work.
The Migration, Business and Human Rights Programme in Asia (MBHR Asia) is a regional programme by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) aimed at promoting corporate responsibility to respect migrant workers’ rights in line with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs).
Through MBHR Asia, IOM collaborates with governments, business and civil society to uphold the human and labour rights of migrant workers in key sectors and migration corridors.
