 "Ten Ways to Protect Undocumented Migrant Workers" 

Undocumented Migrant Workers in Europe 
(jointly published by PICUM and HIVA, Hoger Instituut voor de Arbeid, KU Leuven) 

This report analyses the socio-economic and political forces that create and maintain the presence of undocumented migrant workers in Europe. This analysis provides the backdrop for considering what rights should be granted to undocumented migrant workers. The situation in various economic sectors in Europe is analysed, and issues such as the protection of victims of forced labor and the problems associated with regularization campaigns are presented. The report highlights the role played by social inspectors, trade unions and NGOs in protecting undocumented migrant workers, and offers recommendations for specific policy measures. 

Many of the articles contained in this report were presented at an international conference on undocumented migrant workers, which was held at the European Parliament on 26 May 2003. The conference brought a variety of different actors together to search for effective means to ensure protection of undocumented migrant workers.

Book of Solidarity: Providing Assistance to Undocumented Migrants (Volumes I-III)

français  español  italiano  Deutsch

The three-volume series brings to light the solidarity extended to undocumented migrants in selected Member States of the European Union.

Undocumented migrants residing in Europe are socially excluded and very vulnerable to marginalization. Europe needs and makes use of the labor of undocumented migrants, but is at the same time not willing to give any rewards for their contributions. Undocumented migration is fought in many ways. It is alarming that blocking access to social rights is one of these ways, and that the evolution tends to go in the direction of criminalizing undocumented migrants themselves and penalizing the social and humanitarian help that is provided to them by citizens and civil organizations.

The many citizens and civil organizations that are providing assistance to this vulnerable group in society are highlighted. The examples of assistance presented in the three volumes focus on undocumented migrants’ access to basic social rights such as health care, housing, employment rights, education, legal advice and assistance. In these fields both direct assistance is provided and structural work is done.
