The Launch
of
215 Million Reasons... The Rights of Migrant Workers &

Campaign for Australian Ratification of the Migrant Workers
Convention
The
Multicultural Women’s Advocacy (MWA) in partnership with The Network of
Immigrant and Refugee Women Australia Inc. (NIRWA) are working together to
ratify The International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All
Migrants Workers and Members of Their Families also referred to as the UN
Migrant Workers Convention, to support 215 million migrant workers’ rights and
their families (2009 United Nations International
Migration Report)
We
are asking the community to sign the postcard and share their voice, or just
provide a name and signature, to support the ‘215 Million Reasons … The Rights of Migrant Workers & their
Families’.
MWA
and NIRWA are reinforcing the 215 million reasons to support the rights of
Migrant Workers and their families, as each and every migrants’ rights deserves
to be acknowledged as human rights.
On
October 1 2011, a coalition of civil society groups (including NIRWA and The
Human Rights Council of Australia) and global groups launched a renewed call
for Australia to ratify the International Convention on the Rights of All
Migrant Workers and Members of their
Families ("the Migrant Workers Convention").
The ACT
launch will be held on Sunday 17 June 2012 from 10.30am–12pm:
