Migrant workers’ contribution to Sri Lanka’s economy is significant and their role as skilled workers has been crucial on many occasions. However, despite their role and contribution, they lack recognition and representation in the country.

This was noted by the Voice of Migrants’ Network’s Executive Director Michael Joachim, who stressed that migrant workers’ representation in decision-making bodies is insufficient. He notes the importance of their representation in the Parliament and in the Sri Lanka Bureau of Foreign Employment (SLBFE).

He made these remarks during an interview with The Daily Morning.
