WE thought it's best to begin this first post of Kanlungan Centre Foundation Inc. with good news about the gains of struggle of migrant workers around the world.
The good news comes from William Gois of the Migrant Forum in Asia (MFA) who wrote to
announce that the Indonesian Parliament deliberated on April 10 the
ratification of the United Nations 1990 Convention on the Protection of the
Rights if All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families (UN 1990 MWC).
“All factions in the Indonesian Parliament agreed to ratify the
UN 1990 MWC. We are hoping that within the week the Indonesian government will
make the official announcement of the ratification of the convention,” Gois
said in his email to MFA members.
Gois expressed his gratitude “for the work of all the partners
on the ground, the MFA members, the grassroots communities, migrant communities
and migrants’ rights advocates in Indonesia who have made this momentous day in
history possible.”
Kanlungan also awaits with hope the official announcement of the
Indonesian government.
