Forced Migrant Labourers: A Study of Abandonment, Desertion and 'Strandedness' in Asia

Panitanki-borders

This project aims to understand the plight of forced migrant labourers stranded in transit and destination countries. It has three specific objectives:

  • To extend academic literature on forced migration through a greater consideration of the situations of trafficked persons and other forced migrant labourers;
  • To utilise knowledge gained to improve responses to stranded forced migrant labourers through stakeholder engagement in transit, origin and destination countries;
  • To conduct the research in a manner consistent with the principles of a participatory approach and critical feminist principles.
