Global Refugee Work Rights Report 2014: 'Taking the Movement from Theory to Practice'
http://asylumaccess.org/AsylumAccess/mission-and-vision/publications
Asylum Access and the Refugee Work Rights Coalition are excited to launch our Global Refugee Work Rights Report 2014: 'Taking the Movement from Theory to Practice'.
The report examines the laws, policies and practices pertaining to refugee work rights in 15 countries around the globe, affecting a total of 30% of the world's refugee population. The findings reveal that almost half of the 15 countries examined have a complete legal bar to refugee employment. In the countries where some legal right to work exists, significant de-facto barriers to employment, like strict encampment, exorbitant permit fees or widespread discrimination, undermine refugees' ability to access lawful employment.
Read or download the report, and please stay tuned for our launch event on October 2nd, in Washington, DC, hosted by United Nations Foundation, in collaboration with the American Bar Association - International Refugee Law Section.
Warmly,
Jessica Therkelsen
Asylum Access Global Policy Director
