About this event
In all six states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and Oman) temporary migrant workers make up more than half of the labour force. These migrants are denied many basic political and social rights, and have no prospect of attaining citizenship or permanent residency in the GCC. In this context, how can the next generation of leaders, thought influencers and policymakers take a rights-based and inclusive approach to migration in the Gulf?
Join Migrant-Rights.org for a panel discussion with students and advocates from the region.
