Migrant Workers and the ICRMW in the Asia-Pacific Region (Bangladesh, 15^th – 19^th August, 2005)

From August 15-19, 2005 the Diplomacy Training Program facilitated a capacity building program in Dhaka, Bangladesh for 24 advocates from Bangladesh, Burma, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nepal, Timor Leste and Vietnam. 

The program aimed to build the capacity of NGO advocates in the Asia-Pacific region to promote the human rights of migrant workers. A major focus of the five-day training program was on developing understanding of the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Family (ICRMW) and other international legal standards of particular relevance to migrant workers in the Asia-Pacific region.  These standards include the ILO Conventions and UN Convention on Trafficking.
