Coronavirus-related closures have left millions of migrant workers stranded in overcrowded dormitories and temporary residences — unable to work and unable to return home. These workers are at high risk not only for contracting the coronavirus, but also for human rights and labor violations, advocates say.
As news of stranded migrant workers spread across the world, a number of countries have begun procedures to repatriate them. But human rights groups warn that hasty repatriation plans could become breeding grounds for wage theft and other labor violations.
