Exploitation Before Departure ✈️
Excessive Fees 💸:
Many Nepali migrant workers are subjected to exorbitant recruitment fees, often exceeding what is legally permissible. These high fees trap workers in debt, leaving them financially vulnerable before they even depart. The burden of these fees can create long-term financial hardship, forcing workers into exploitative situations in the host country as they attempt to repay these debts.
False Job Promises 🏢:
Recruitment agencies often entice migrants with promises of high wages, good working conditions, and better prospects abroad. However, once they arrive, workers often find that the reality does not match the promises made to them. Job offers that were initially presented as appealing turn out to be false or misleading, leaving workers stuck in substandard conditions.
Contract Substitution 📝:
Migrant workers frequently face the situation of contract substitution. They are often asked to sign favorable contracts in Nepal, but when they arrive in the host country, the terms of the contract are changed without their consent. This can lead to lower wages, harsher working conditions, or the loss of certain rights and protections, making it difficult for workers to escape or report exploitation.
Unlicensed Agencies 🏠:
Many migrant workers are recruited by unlicensed or illegal agencies that operate outside the legal framework. This makes it nearly impossible for workers to seek justice when they face exploitation. Without a legal pathway for recourse, migrants are often left helpless in dealing with unscrupulous employers and agencies.
Fake Visas 🛂:
In some cases, migrant workers receive fake or forged visas, which increases their risk of deportation, financial loss, and exposure to unsafe working conditions. These fraudulent documents also make it challenging for workers to pursue legal action, as they may be considered to be in violation of immigration laws due to the invalid documentation.

Exploitation During Transit 🚗
Travel Exploitation 💼:
During transit, many migrants face additional exploitation, often being overcharged for transportation, accommodation, and other services. These inflated costs add financial strain to their already precarious situation, leaving them with little room to advocate for themselves.
Poor Transit Conditions ⛺:
In many cases, migrant workers endure overcrowded and unsafe accommodations during their transit to the host country. This can lead to health problems, physical exhaustion, and a general sense of vulnerability as workers are often left with no choice but to endure these substandard conditions while awaiting their journey’s continuation.
Confiscation of Passports 📄:
In some cases, employers or recruiters seize workers’ passports during transit, trapping them in a situation where they have no legal identification or means of escape. This manipulation and control of essential documents prevent workers from seeking help and place them at significant risk of exploitation and abuse.

Exploitation Abroad 🌍
Wage Theft 💵:
Wage theft is a widespread issue for migrant workers, where employers withhold wages, make unauthorized deductions, or fail to pay workers for their labor. This leaves workers in financial distress, unable to provide for themselves or their families. Some workers are even forced to work under the threat of not being paid at all.
Poor Living Conditions 🏠:
Many migrant workers are forced to live in overcrowded, unsanitary, and unsafe housing. These conditions not only affect their physical and mental well-being but also pose significant health risks. Employers often cut corners, providing workers with inadequate living arrangements to reduce costs, further exacerbating the hardships workers face.
Forced Labor 🔒:
In more extreme cases, employers confiscate workers' documents, such as passports or identification cards, and force them into exploitative labor situations. Without their documents, workers are essentially trapped, unable to leave or seek better opportunities. This is a form of modern-day slavery, and it places workers in highly vulnerable positions.
Abuse 🚨:
Migrant workers, particularly women, are often subjected to various forms of abuse, including physical, verbal, and sexual abuse by employers or supervisors. Fear of retaliation, deportation, or the loss of income prevents many workers from reporting these abuses, further perpetuating the cycle of exploitation.
Limited Legal Access ⚖️:
Once abroad, many migrant workers lack access to legal support or representation. This makes it difficult for them to challenge unfair treatment, seek justice, or defend their rights. In many cases, migrants are unaware of their legal rights and protections in the host country, leaving them vulnerable to exploitation.
Lack of Healthcare 🏥:
Many migrant workers are denied access to healthcare, either due to their immigration status or the exploitative practices of their employers. Without proper medical care, workers are left to suffer from illness or injury, often in environments where they are forced to continue working despite their physical and mental health needs.
Human Trafficking 🛑:
In the most extreme cases, migrant workers fall victim to human trafficking, being forced into illegal labor or even sex work. These individuals are often subjected to horrific conditions and have little chance of escaping their circumstances without outside intervention.
