Giving Refugees The Right To Work

Katrina Jorene Maliamauv, Executive Director, Amnesty International Malaysia

Giving Refugees The Right To Work

The government has announced that they are mulling over a plan to allow refugees to work in the country, but limited to 3D (dirty, dangerous and difficult) jobs. So we speak to Katrina Jorene Maliamauv of Amnesty International Malaysia on her view of this move, why limiting it to 3D jobs sends the wrong message, and the importance of refugees being able to earn a living legally.
