Labor demand has been the main driver of growing immigration to western countries since the 1990s.

Honored to speak next to Ambassador Hermono today at @UniversitiMalay, discussing migration between Indonesia and Malaysia, and how to ensure migrants are protected. Migration can benefit us all— if well managed and well governed.

[Kendra Rinas @KendraRinas]

Great discussions ongoing on improving social protections for domestic migrant workers. Migrant domestic workers support families and society, and must have accessible protections.

[United Nations in Malaysia @UNinMalaysia]

IOM and ILO in 🇲🇾 brings stakeholders to discuss national and migrant domestic workers’ effective access to social security under SOCSO and extending benefits. The one day workshop will look at challenges, good practices and international case studies.

Excellent initiative by our OHCHR friends to help highlight shared stories of migrants, citizens, and food!

[Kendra Rinas @KendraRinas]

Excited for IOM’s partnership with the Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) to train SMEs on fair and ethical recruitment and employment of migrant workers. More trainings are planned throughout Malaysia over the course of 2023. SMEs and migrants help build a strong economy!

[Kendra Rinas @KendraRinas]

Congratulations to @AmyEPope, DG Elect for @UNMigration, and first female to lead IOM. 👏Looking forward to working together on well managed migration that benefits everyone— at a time where collaborative, meaningful, action is needed more than ever.
