Migrants from Myanmar and Cambodia, many undocumented, contribute significantly to this sector and provide Thai companies with cheap, unregulated labour. The experiences of migrants in fishery show that the living conditions, health assistance, and the general work environment in the fishing industry are poor. Long and irregular working hours, sickness, poor nutrition, abuse, and death at sea have been widely reported in recent years.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e7b57e2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e7b57e2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/mekongmigration.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/DSCF8322-scaled-1-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-16947\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mekongmigration.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/DSCF8322-scaled-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mekongmigration.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/DSCF8322-scaled-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mekongmigration.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/DSCF8322-scaled-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mekongmigration.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/DSCF8322-scaled-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mekongmigration.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/DSCF8322-scaled-1-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Migrant fishery workers repair fish nets in Rayong, Thailand.

In 2018, MMN held a workshop on Frameworks on Migrant Labour in the Fishing Industry in the Mekong to examine protection mechanisms for migrant workers employed in the fishing sector.\u00a0<\/p><p>In 2019, Thailand\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ilo.org\/global\/about-the-ilo\/newsroom\/news\/WCMS_666581\/lang--en\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">became the first country in Asia to ratify the International Labour Organization\u2019s Work in Fishing Convention (C188)<\/a>, which protects the living and working conditions of fishers on board vessels. However, instances of abuse and exploitation within the sector continue to be documented and reported. In response to the still-inadequate protection mechanisms being applied to migrant workers in fishery, MMN, along with rights advocates of the region, collectively issued the \u201cJoint Civil Society Statement concerning Ratification of the Work in Fishing Convention, 2007 (No. 188).\u201d To read the statement, please click\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mekongmigration.org\/?p=6301\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-97e0377 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"97e0377\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"Initiatives\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a9acd40 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a9acd40\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Related Initiatives<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8035357 elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"8035357\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1341\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1341\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Workshop on Frameworks on Migrant Labour in the Fishing Industry in the Mekong<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1341\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1341\"><p class=\"p1\">On 5 August 2018, Mekong Migration Network (MMN) organised a workshop entitled \u201cFrameworks on Migrant Labour in the Fishing Industry in the Mekong\u201d at the Empress Hotel in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The workshop aimed to: 1) clarify the concepts of various frameworks surrounding\/relating to labour migration, such as trafficking, slavery, forced labour, etc; 2) examine the implications of these frameworks on labour migration, particularly on migrant labour in fisheries; and 3) exchange views on what can be done to protect the rights of migrant workers and their families in fisheries.<\/p><p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mekongmigration.org\/?p=9195\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Learn More<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1342\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1342\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">From our Eyes: Migrant Reflection (2010-2012)<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1342\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1342\"><p class=\"p1\">The idea for\u00a0<em>From our Eyes: Migrant Reflection<\/em>\u00a0was born at the workshop on\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mekongmigration.org\/?p=7009\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Migration Trends and Responses in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) and Beyond,<\/a> held on 31 August 2010 in Chiang Mai, and co-organised by MMN, MAP Foundation, and the Asian Migrant Centre.
