In this Podcast, Loksan Harley speaks with a true powerhouse in the field of migrant rights in Asia, William Gois, the current regional coordinator of Migrant Forum in Asia (MFA). William shed light on the issue of wage theft in Asia that many migrant workers have been exposed to. He gives us the lowdown on the scale and nature of the problem, where it's happening, and what its impacts are on the migrant workers and their families and communities of origin, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. And he walks us through the Justice For Wage Theft campaign he's been leading and the actions that he is calling on countries of origin and destination to take to both address the immediate needs of those afflicted by wage theft, as well as to build back better protections for migrant workers as we emerge from the pandemic.
