Description
A multi-sector approach is needed to address the challenges faced in the South Asian region in regards to migration of workers, say experts. The European Union Delegation to Nepal along with DAI Europe and Centre for South Asian Studies (CSAS) hosted a regional seminar on 'Making Labour Migration Easy and Safe in South Asia' in Kathmandu, where solutions for protecting migrants were discussed, a statement said. "Migration needs to be addressed in a multi-sector approach and focus on the human, social and labour rights of migrants, their psychological and social well-being, and the development efforts migrants workers can contribute to," Rensje Teerink, EU Ambassador to Nepal and to SAARC said. At policy level, inter-state cooperation is also needed to regulate the labour migrants' flow, to develop coherent policies and activate mechanisms to facilitate better organisation of legal migration, to ensure migrants' safety and rights, and to maximise the development impacts of migration and mobility, experts said.
