Experts Urge Action on Migrant Worker Violence and Welfare

Experts Urge Action on Migrant Worker Violence and Welfare

Imagine many people moving to cities to find work.

Experts and scholars met to talk about these workers.

They discussed how some migrant workers, especially those who speak Bengali, face violence and unfair treatment, sometimes even from the police.

The speakers said these acts should be considered hate crimes.

They also discussed the reasons why these workers are struggling, like not getting enough help from the government and not being paid fairly.

They reminded everyone that the Supreme Court said the government should help these workers more, but things aren't moving fast enough.

The meeting ended with a call for better laws and more support to ensure the workers are treated with dignity and respect.
