MigrantWorkersRights – Global Online Database
MigrantWorkersRights (MWR) is a non-profit organization operating as an open but coordinated network aiming for — through research, legal actions and legislative processes — the abolition of slavery’s legacies embedded within current Canadian and similar administrative frameworks. MWR’s mission is the respect, by national and international agencies, of the rights to liberty, to physical and psychological integrity, and to non-discrimination based on the country of origin — thus of the rights to freely change employers at all time, to receive study/work permits for children/spouse, and to access permanent legal status, of every human being admitted under the status of ‘temporary foreign worker’.
