Last weekend, migrant workers in South Korea staged rallies in the cities of Seoul, Daegu and Busan to call for greater rights. As with many other countries in the world, migrant workers in South Korea are brought in on temporary visas, are unable to access the full rights that other workers have, and therefore suffer greater exploitation at their workplaces. While they have fought and achieved gains in the past, they are still demanding secure visas, an end to discrimination and the right to freely choose their jobs.
