The Government of Nepal has failed to deliver effective protection for migrant workers and end the culture of impunity for unlawful and criminal recruitment practices, says Amnesty International Report 2017-18.
According to the report punished today, migrant workers were systematically subjected to unlawful and criminal conduct by recruitment businesses and agents. Recruiters routinely charged migrant workers illegal and excessive fees; deceived them about the terms and conditions of their work abroad; and manipulated their consent to overseas work through the accumulation of recruitment debts.
“Some recruiters were directly involved in labour trafficking, which is punishable under Nepal’s Human Trafficking and Transportation (Control) Act. Migrants trapped in forced-labour situations abroad faced extreme difficulty in accessing support from Nepalese embassies to return home. Recruiters rarely provided repatriation assistance to workers when they encountered problems abroad despite their obligations under the Foreign Employment Act,” it warned.
