EU’s Migration Pact Is A Blow To Migrant Domestic Workers’ Rights

 

The migration accord signed by the European Union member states the European Commission and the European Parliament represents a setback to the rights of migrant domestic workers.

The agreement to restructure the immigration and asylum policies of the European Union will have a significant impact on the rights of refugees, migrants, and asylum seekers.

European nations reached a significant migration agreement on December 20th to modernize their shared migration system. Major EU laws pertaining to data collecting and migration are covered by the agreement.

Human Rights Watch claims that the migration agreement may be exploitative as well as ineffectual. For refugees and migrants, it may be dangerous. The migration deal limits the number of migrants who can enter Europe and facilitates the deportation of unsuccessful asylum seekers.

The EU’s migration agreement has been criticized by the European Council on Exiles and Refugees, a pan-European network of non-governmental organizations that aid refugees, for being “byzantine in their complexity and Orban-esque in their cruelty.”

As per the terms of the migration agreement, undocumented migrants — including those who embark on travels by sea — will be detained and returned to their countries of origin. The new immigration agreement requires fingerprinting of children as early as six years old.
