The Mekong Migration Network and the Asian Migrant Centre invite you to the launch of the book From Our Eyes: Mekong Migrant Reflections: 2000 \u2013 2012. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Date: \u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Thursday, 16 August 2012<\/span><\/p>\n

Time: \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>10am \u2013 12pm<\/span><\/p>\n

Penthouse, Maneeya Center, 518\/5 Ploenchit Road, Patumwan, Bangkok <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From Our Eyes<\/span><\/em> is a collection of personal stories, insight and analysis from 15 migrants, on their lives over the past 12 years. The accounts convey important perspectives on the practical impact of migrant-related policies, with the hope of countering a general lack of recognition that migrants are indeed capable of analysing issues that relate to their own lives. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The launch will feature speakers from the migrant community reflecting on the book, and on their experiences. A migrant leader from the Workers Solidarity Association (WSA) highlights the importance of recognising migrant voices, opinions and analysis: <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“The policies and regulations relating to migrant workers have made our lives sometimes sweet, sometimes bitter. We would like to suggest that governments create policies that solve real problems and create public benefits, and do not ruin the lives of migrants. As we migrants speak out through this publication, we hope that the relevant authorities will hear us and reflect our opinions in their policy making.”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
