MMN believes that all workers deserve decent work, a living wage, and equal rights and access to benefits, regardless of their nationality, race, gender, religion, and sexual orientation.

To realise this vision, MMN’s previous research has looked extensively into national labour rights laws and regulations in the GMS, as well as the experiences of workers (including migrants) across different employment sectors. Based on these findings, MMN brings attention to existing gaps in laws and policies and advocates with governments of destination countries and countries of origin, employers, investors, and other relevant stakeholders to improve and enforce rights-respecting measures.
