Migrant Rights

A migrant is legally defined as “a person who is to be engaged, is engaged or has been engaged in a remunerated activity in a State of which he or she is not a national.” The International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families (Migrant Convention, 2003) defines and protects the rights of not only individual migrants but also those of their immediate families. The Convention guarantees equality of treatment and the same working conditions for migrants and nationals.

HRE USA is a project of the Center for Transformative Action

We are grateful for the generous support of our members, individual donors, and The Puffin Foundation Ltd

The core values of HRE USA and its partner organizations include transparency and critical thinking skills. We believe that human rights--and human rights education--belong to everyone, and that the full realization of human rights means that access to human rights education materials must never be conditioned upon the subscription to any particular religious faith, ideology, political affiliation, or membership in any particular organization and that any organizational connections should be openly acknowledged.
