बैदेशिक रोजगारीमा गएका व्यक्तिका छोराछोरीलाई छात्रबृत्ति

बैदेशिक रोजगारीमा गएका व्यक्तिका बालबालिकालाई लक्षित गर्दै छात्रबृत्ति अभियान सुरु गरिएको छ । सुरक्षित बैदेशिक रोजगारको क्षेत्रमा क्रियाशिल गैरसरकारी संस्था सेण्टर फर माइग्रेसन एण्ड ईण्टरनेशनल रिलेसन(सिएमआइआर) ले छात्रबृत्ति प्रदान गर्ने व्यवस्था मिलाएको हो ।

अभियान अन्तर्गत पहिलो चरणमा रामेछाप, मकवानपुर, नवलपरासी, सल्यान र लमजुङ गरी पाँच जिल्लाका ३० जना विद्यालय तहका बालबालिकाले यो छात्रबृत्ति पाउँदैछन् । यसलाई विस्तार गरी २ सय बालबालिकामा पुर्याउने लक्ष्य राखिएको छ ।

छात्रबृत्ति प्राप्त गर्ने बालबालिका मध्ये प्राथमिक तहमा अध्ययनरतले बार्षिक १० हजार, निमावि तहमा अध्ययनरतले १२ हजार ५ सय तथा मावि तहमा अध्ययनरतले १५ हजार प्राप्त गर्नेछन् । सिएमआइआरका कार्यक्रम अधिकृत बसन्त घिमिरेका अनुसार यसले कामको शिलशिलामा विदेशमा मृत्यु भएका, वेपत्ता भएका र गम्भिर स्वास्थ्य समस्यामा परी नेपाल फर्किएका आप्रवासी कामदारको परिवारका बालबालिकाहरुलाई शिक्षा सुचारु गर्न वा पूरा गर्न मद्धत गर्ने अपेक्षा गरिएको छ ।

यसैगरी बैदेशिक रोजगारीमा गएका व्यक्तिका छोराछोरीले पनि अशिक्षित भएर जीवनयापनका लागि वैदशिक रोजगारीलाई नै अंगाल्नु पर्ने बाध्यता नआओस् भन्ने उद्धेश्य समेत राखिएको घिमिरेले बताए ।

परिवारको कुनै सदस्य आप्रवासी कामदारको रुपमा काम गरेको, आप्रवासी कामदारको रुपमा नेपाल सरकारबाट स्वीकृती प्राप्त तेस्रो मुलुकमा रहेर वा रोजगारीबाट फर्केको एक वर्षको अन्तरालमा स्वदेशमा मुत्यु भएको अथवा गम्भिर रुपमा स्वास्थ्य समस्या परेको व्यक्तिका बालबालिकाले छात्रबृत्ति पाउनसक्नेछन् । यसैगरी लामो समय देखि परिवारबाट सम्पर्कविहिन भएका कामदारको परिवारका छोराछोरीले पनि यस अभियानमा विशेष प्राथमिकता पाउने घिमिरेले बताए । सरकारी विद्यालयमा कक्षा १ देखि १० सम्म अध्ययनरत विद्यार्थी मध्येबाट छनौट गरी छात्रबृत्ति प्रदान गरिनेछ ।

अनलाइन मार्फत सहयोग रकम संकलन गरी यो अभियान चलाइएको हो । अभियानमा सहयोग गर्न इच्छुक व्यक्तिलाई सहयोगका लागि पनि संस्थाले आव्हान गरेको छ । त्यसका लागि संस्थाको वेभसाइट http://cmir.org.np/index.php/campaings/education-campaign मा गएर थप जानकारी लिन सक्नेछन् ।

छात्रबृत्तिका लागि आवेदन दिन चाहने विद्यार्थीले सोही वेभसाइटबाट आवेदन फारम डाउनलोड गरी भरेर बुझाउन पनि संस्थाले आग्रह गरेको छ ।

टर्की लैजाने भन्दै लाखौं उठाउँदैः सावधान

काठमाडौं भदौ २४- टर्कीमा आकर्षक रोजगारीमा पठाइदिने प्रलोभन देखाउँदै राजधानीको एक कन्सल्टेन्सीले धेरै युवाबाट धमाधम रकम उठाइरहेको छ । काठमाडौंको रविभवनमा कार्यालय रहेको ईजी सोलुसन कन्सल्टेन्सीले त्यसरी रकम उठाइरहेको भेटिएको हो ।

बैदेशिक रोजगार ऐन २०६४ बमोजिम विभागबाट अनुमति लिएका म्यानपावर कम्पनी बाहेक अन्यले त्यसरी कसैलाई पनि बैदेशिक रोजगारीमा पठाउन पाउँदैनन् । तर त्यसलाई लत्याउँदै सो कन्सल्ट्यान्सले युवाहरुसँग रकम उठाइरहेको हो ।

सो कन्सल्टेन्सीबाट सेल्सम्यानको काममा जाने भनेर रकम समेत बुझाइसकेका एक व्यक्ति सुरक्षित बैदेशिक रोजगारीका क्षेत्रमा कार्यरत संस्था सेण्टर फर माइग्रेसन एण्ड इण्टरनेशनल रिलेसन(सिएमआइआर) मा आइपुगेपछि यो घटना जानकारीमा आएको हो । ति युवाले आफूले केहि रकम तिरिसकेको भन्दै सो संस्थाले टर्की पठाउने ईजाजत पाए नपाएको बुझिदिन आग्रह गरेपछि ठगिको घटना बाहिर आएको हो ।

सो कन्सल्टेन्सीले देखाएको मागपत्रमा सेक्यूरिटी गार्ड, डाटा इन्ट्री अपरेटर, क्लीनर, फेव्रिक सुपरभाइजर, मार्केटिङ डिपार्टमेण्ट, सेल्स डिपार्टमेण्ट, फड एण्ड वेभरेज डिपार्टमेण्टमा गरी १ सय ९३ जनाको माग उल्लेख छ । त्यसमध्ये सवैभन्दा बढी तलव फेव्रिक सुपरभाइजर र अफिस एसिस्टेण्टमा प्रतिमहिना १३ सय अमेरिकी डलर हुने उल्लेख छ ।

दुई वर्ष भिसा म्याद हुने भन्दै सो कन्सल्टेन्सीले प्रतिव्यक्ति न्यूनतम ३ लाख देखि बढीमा ८ लाखसम्म असुलेको आवेदन दिएका युवाहरुले बताएका छन् । “मलाई मेरो एजेण्टले सेल्सको काममा जान ५ लाख लाग्ने बताएपछि मैले एक लाख बुझाएको छु र बाँकी रकम श्रम स्वीकृति भएपछि दिने भनेको छु, अव मेरो रकम कसरी फिर्ता गर्ने हो” सहयोगको आग्रह गर्दै सिएमआइआरको कार्यालयमा भेटिएका एक युवा भन्दै थिए । उनले आफ्नो रकम डुवेका कारण फिर्ता लिन सकिने अपेक्षा सहित नाम भनें सार्वजनिक गर्न मानेनन् ।

रकम दिएका युवाका अनुसार अन्तर्वार्ता यसअघि नै सकिइसकेको र बाँकी रहेको पदमा मात्र मान्छे पठाउने भएका कारण अन्तर्वार्ता दिन जरुरी नरहेको कन्सल्टेन्सीका आफूलाई मुख्य सञ्चालक बताउने विरु लामाले बताएका थिए । उनले एक महिना भित्रमा टर्की उडाइसक्ने भन्दै रकम तयार राख्न अह्राएको उनले बताए ।

पीडित युवाहरुका अनुसार उनीहरुलाई बालाजुको एक मेडिकल सेण्टरमा लगेर झण्डै एक महिना अघि स्वास्थ्य परिक्षण पनि गराइसकिएको छ ।

ति युवाको सुचनाकै आधारमा आफू समेत टर्की जाने भन्दै देशपरदेशले गरेको टेलिफोन सम्पर्कमा विरु लामाले पहिले आएको डिमाण्ड पुरा भइसकेको र अव नयाँ डिमाण्ड आएपछि सम्पर्क गर्ने बताए । “हामीसँग झण्डै सयजनाको डिमाण्ड थियो, त्यो सक्कियो अव अर्कोचोटीलाई प्रयास गर्नुस्” विरुले भने । कन्सल्टेन्सीबाट पनि विदेशमा काम गर्न जान मिल्छ र भन्ने प्रश्नमा उनले यो माग ट्रिपलस्टार म्यानपावरको भएको र आफूले सम्पर्क मात्र गराइदिएको दावी गरे ।

उनले भनेको ट्रिपलस्टार म्यानपावर कम्पनीले भनें कामदार टर्की पठाउने काम गर्दैन । सो म्यानपावरका सञ्चालक हरिकाजी गुरुङले आफ्नो कम्पनीले केवल साउदी र कतारमा मात्र कामदार पठाउने गरेको बताएका छन् । “न हामी टर्कीमा कामदार पठाउँछौं, न त विरु लामा र ईजि कन्सल्टेन्सी नै चिनेका छौं” उनको भनाई छ ।

कसरी पत्ता लाग्यो ठगि ?

आफूलाई टर्की पठाइदिन्छु भन्ने कन्सल्टेन्सीको विश्वासमा परेका एक युवा आफन्तले ठगिमा पर्न सक्ने भन्दै सतर्क गराएपछि सहयोग खोज्दै सिएमआइआरको कार्यालयमा आइपुगेका थिए । उनले दिएको जानकारी अनुसार सो संस्थाले विभिन्न देशमा रहेका नेपाली दुतावासहरु र टर्कीमा रहेको मागपत्रमा देखाइएको कम्पनीमा ईमेल मार्फत सम्पर्क ग¥यो ।

विभिन्न देशमा रहेका नेपाली दुतावासले यस्ता मागपत्र नक्कली हुने भन्दै सतर्क गराए भनें कम्पनीले आफूले नेपालमा कुनै कम्पनीसँग कामदार नमगाएको प्रष्ट पा¥यो । त्यसपछि यो ठगि भएको पुष्टि भएको थियो ।

US embassy holds TechCamp

Sep 2, 2015- A three-day TechCamp Nepal event which aims to bring civil society organisations working on migration and trafficking issues together with local and international technology experts to find low-cost, easy-to-implement technology solutions to help Nepali migrant workers kicked off in the Capital on Tuesday.
The event was organised by the US Embassy in Kathmandu in partnership with the State Department and Humanity United, and in cooperation with ACE College.
According to the embassy, Microsoft Innovation Center, Facebook/Internet.org, businesses and entrepreneurs, civil society groups, migrant workers and government representatives from the US, Nepal and Qatar will participate in the TechCamp Nepal event to help workers better protect themselves at home and where they work.
“Nepal’s migrant workers constitute a driving force in Nepal’s economy. The US government supports efforts to reduce the risk of abuse and exploitation that Nepal’s migrant workers face overseas,” said John L Carwile, chargé d’affaires, during his remarks at TechCamp Nepal’s opening.

Research and Study

CMIR backed with its highly experienced group of researchers and academicians, expertise in conducting a range research and study programs in the issue of migration and international relations also including other cross-cutting issues. CMIR best utilizes its experiences of working on humanitarian causes for migrant workers and their families to document and extract stories and patterns to analyze the issue; where each of the research work is highly sensitive towards the human value and norms and fundamentals of human rights. Thus, our research works are better proven to provide a deeper understanding to the ground realities faced by migrant workers and their families. Also, CMIR extensively studies the international relations and associated policy dynamics to come with policy discourse and recommendations for improvising the migration status-quo through better performance of the foreign policies of/in the origin and destination countries.

Title: Perception of Environmental Change Relationship to Labor Migration in the Chitwan Valley

Type: Research Report

Year: 2019

Published by: Center for Migration and International Relations

This research examines environmental change, in terms of agriculture production, influence on out migration from the Chitwan Valley in Nepal. As the first part of a longitudinal study, a maximum variation sampling method was used to gather data on farming households’ perceptions of environmental change and labor migration. While collecting field data, verbal consent was obtained from research participants and their identities protected. This study uses the measures of environmental change, social capital, and environmental history to analyze risk formation and amplification along migrant networks. Additionally, using t-tests, this data was compared to a sample from the Chitwan Valley Family Study (CVFS) to observe change in perception and labor migration over time. The analysis concludes that perception of environmental change interacts with socio-cultural processes in ways that intensify household level migration. In addition, environmental change is one of the main factors causing low efficiency in agriculture production, leading households to diversify occupation and income through labor migration.

Submitted to: Ministry of Labour and Employment

CMIR put forth a proposal with specific solutions aimed at assisting the government to make well-informed and pragmatic decisions to protect the dignity of migrant workers for domestic workers, by providing policy recommendation to Ministry of Labour and Employment. The paper, comprised of 20 sets of recommendations, sought to ensure that they are incorporated into domestic as well as bilateral legislation between the sending and receiving countries. The recommendations range from- a month long training with follow-up examinations to original passport and other essential documents to be in the domestic worker’s possession.

Title: Draft of Standard Bilateral Labour Agreement on Labour, Employment and Human Resources Management

Type: Policy Draft

Year: 2016

Published by: Center for Migration and International Relations (CMIR)

Submitted to: Ministry of Labour and Employment

CMIR drafted the standard bilateral agreement on March of 2016 on behalf of the The government of Nepal (GoN). The objective of the new BLA was to create a framework of cooperation between the government of Nepal and the host country to protect and ensure rights of the migrant workers. The new draft incorporated the issues missing in the previous agreement, such as issues related to recruitment, employment and safety of migrant workers in the destination country. It also touched upon the migrant workers’ rights to retain their legal documents, to be allowed to visit Nepal in every two years, and anytime in case of emergency. Likewise, receiving of proper medical treatment as prescribed by the doctor in cases of injury or illness, which was not specified in the previous agreement, was put in the new BLA. For that, from 2016, the Government of Nepal has strongly taken a diplomatic approach to maintaining the bilateral relations.

Legal and Paralegal Support

Department of Foreign Employment (DoFE), Ministry of Labour and Employment, Nepal data states that every year half a million Nepalese migrant workers leave Nepal for foreign employment to pursue their dream of employment and to enhance the quality of lives of their families. Many families’ primary needs are fulfilled through remittances. Nepalese migrant workers have been contributing around 28% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Nepal through the remittances. Livelihoods of many Nepalese families have changed over few decades byforeign employment; increase awareness in quality education, good health and nutrition are some of the fair example of increase in their quality lives. But the story is not the same for many migrant workers and their families. The chain of false promise and deception begins from the very first stage of foreign employment process. Every year around 4000 complains have been filed in DoFE, Nepal against recruitment agencies and agents; around 4000 to 5000 cases have been registered in the Embassies of Nepal in destination countries regarding labour issue; more than thousands of migrant workers have been detained, around 1200 have been reported dead and thousands of female migrant workers have been facing domestic violation. However, the Civil Society Organizations and the government have claimed that the number of deception and violation have been found very high in comparison to the actual complaints received. Trafficking in person, use of unauthorized routes, dual contract, underpayment and nonpayment of wages by the sponsor, misbehavior by the sponsor, death due to unsecured work and unhygienic food, traffic accidents are some of the major problems that many Nepalese migrant workers have been facing during foreign employment. There have been some efforts from the government and civil society organizations to address the problem of migrant workers and their families, despite many barriers exists like centralized foreign employment offices, limited staff at diplomatic missions, limited and restricted access of migrant workers to government institutions. Due to this fact, many problems of migrant workers are unheard. These circumstances have given space to the traffickers, fraud recruitment agencies and sponsors to continue deceiving migrant workers.

Legal and Paralegal Support is a philanthropic effort of CMIR to provide immediate support for distressed migrant workers and their families. Rescue or immediate support includes a range of services including rescue and legal aid support to distressed migrant workers, especially working in GCC countries and Malaysia, legal aid support to families of distressed migrant workers, immediate health-care and psychosocial counseling and transit-home (safe house) services for distressed migrant workers. CMIR uses its wide-spread relations with national and international line agencies, migrant rights and human rights institutions, regional and global networks, partners, Diaspora group, UN agencies and individuals to operate its rescue and immediate support works.

CMIR supports 400+ distressed and destitute Nepalese migrant workers and their families every year. Realizing the gravity of problem, CMIR has been re-equipping its staffs and members frequently to cope up with the problems that migrant workers have been facing and mobilizing its rescue fund to rescue or provide immediate support to distressed migrant workers through arrangement of return tickets to detained Nepalese migrant workers, provide travel expenses to rescued migrant workers to reach their home, facilitate to bringing back dead bodies, rescue of domestic workers, immediate health-care and psychological counseling to injured and migrant workers having severe health problems and others. Services offered from CMIR are absolutely free for migrant workers and their families.

How We Work

Rights Based Approach (RBA)

CMIR doesn’t believe on citing the migrant community as ‘beneficiaries’ rather respects the community as the right-holders’ group. Thus migrant community is rightly involved in every step of our intervention, including planning, designing, implementation and evaluation. CMIR firmly believes the fundamentals of Human Rights and follows a right-based approach in every of its intervention. In the context, where migrant rights are still far behind to be respected as human rights, CMIR uses national and international legal instruments, standards and practices/lessons to make the government/s accountable to uphold the rights of migrant workers and their families at priority of their actions, in the way of ensuring the rights. CMIR realizes the need of having special interventions for ensuring rights of marginalized communities, and thus, it also works to identify inter-sectionalities of migrant rights with other economic, social, cultural, civil and political rights. At CMIR, migration governance and international cooperation are analyzed with the lens of human rights and serious factors that curtail rights of migrant community are identified for policy advocacy and discourse. All the research works at CMIR are principally directed by RBA however, CMIR also involves other theoretical frameworks that do not contradict with RBA as and when required.

Collective Efforts and Unified Voices

CMIR realizes the mutual existence as perpetual in this world, thus, works with an approach of collaboration and coordination with stakeholders. CMIR has deepened faith on the results driven by the collective actions and bargaining, and thus strives to widen its networking, participation, coordination and collaborative efforts for unified voices and actions for bringing about positive changes in the lives of migrant workers and their families.

Working Structure 

CMIR works with a triangular approach to achieve its vision. It could be better understand with the following figure and narrative under each of the touch-points.

MigrantCare:

‘MigrantCare’ is specialized humanitarian initiative of CMIR targeting rescue and immediate support for distressed migrant workers and their families and other range of welfare programs. Rescue and immediate services includes a range of services including rescue and legal aid support to distressed migrant workers, especially working in GCC countries and Malaysia, legal aid support to families of distressed migrant workers, immediate health-care and psychosocial counseling and transit-home (safe house) services for distressed migrant workers. CMIR uses its wide-spread relations with national and international line agencies, migrant rights and human rights institutions, regional and global networks, partners, Diaspora groups, UN agencies and individuals to operate its rescue and immediate support works. Under welfare services, CMIR works closely with national and international partners and government agencies to provide re-integration and livelihood support for the migrant workers and their families and to conduct preventive and awareness raising programs. Services offered from CMIR are absolutely free for migrant workers and their families.

CMIR backed with its highly experienced group of researchers and academicians, expertise in conducting a range research and study programs in the issue of migration and international relations also including other cross-cutting issues. CMIR best utilizes its experiences of working on humanitarian causes for migrant workers and their families to document and extract stories and patterns to analyze the issue; where each of the research work is highly sensitive towards the human value and norms and fundamentals of human rights.

Also, CMIR extensively studies the international relations and associated policy dynamics to come with policy discourse and recommendations for improvising the migration status-quo through better performance of the foreign policies of/in the origin and destination countries.  

WeSpeak

WeSpeak is one of the important working aspects of CMIR. WeSpeak generally signifies the expression and true to its sense, CMIR has constantly been conducting policy advocacy in national, regional and international levels. CMIR policy advocacy efforts are based on its experience of working directly with migrant workers and their families and the conclusions/recommendations coming out of its research programs. CMIR advocacy works are mainly targeted to have enduring and positive impacts on policy issues that best ensure rights of migrant workers and their families.

Who We Are

Center for Migration and International Relations (CMIR) is a not-for-profit institute thriving to ensuring rights of migrant workers and their families are respected, guaranteed and fulfilled. We are a dedicated and dynamic team of returnee migrant workers, migrant rights’ activists and researchers having a long-time involvement history in the field of migration and development. In Nepal, CMIR is the first institute of involving all three groups: returnee migrant workers, migrant rights activists and researchers into a common platform. This enables CMIR to better understand the multi-faceted impacts of migration into different aspects and dynamics of the society and thus, help to come with concrete humanitarian actions, policy recommendations and enduring advocacy efforts in national, regional and international level.

CMIR is also the first and only institute in Nepal to involving international relations as a part of study and advocacy of migration dynamics. Though study and advocacy on bettering international relations makes an obvious impact on migration governance and patterns for any given country, CMIR explicitly focuses on including international relations as strong component to study and advocate for guaranteeing rights of migrant workers and their families.

Capitalist Capitalism

Foucaultist power relations

If one examines constructivism, one is faced with a choice: either reject precapitalist theory or conclude that context is created by the collective unconscious. Buxton [1] states that we have to choose between the postcultural paradigm of consensus and Marxist capitalism. Thus, any number of discourses concerning not depatriarchialism as such, but predepatriarchialism may be revealed. “Society is part of the collapse of consciousness,” says Sontag. In The Name of the Rose, Eco denies Foucaultist power relations; in The Aesthetics of Thomas Aquinas, however, he analyses textual subsemantic theory. Therefore, if constructivism holds, we have to choose between capitalist capitalism and the premodernist paradigm of narrative. 1. The dialectic paradigm of Foucaultist power relations. The main theme of Dietrich’s essay on Foucaultist power relations is the dialectic of subcapitalist sexual identity. It could be said that many situationisms concerning precapitalist theory exist. The characteristic theme of the works of Eco is a mythopoetical whole. Therefore, Sartre uses the term.

Therefore, la Fournier implies that we have to choose between precapitalist theory and the substructural paradigm of reality. “Sexual identity is fundamentally unattainable,” says Lacan; however, according to Humphrey , it is not so much sexual identity that is fundamentally unattainable, but rather the collapse, and eventually the failure, of sexual identity. The premise of constructivism suggests that sexuality is elitist. But the subject is contextualised into a precapitalist theory that includes consciousness as a whole. “The strategic adversary is fascism… the fascism in us all, in our heads…
