In a song by Avinash Ghising he depicts the story of migrant workers of Nepal with his lines,"Sunko Bala Lyaune Dhokho, Phukaunu Cha Rin Ko Poko. Jau Saila Bidesh Ma... (dream of returning with golds and paying all the loans, lets go abroad, brother.....)". This song has reflected the present scenario of our country where youths are flying abroad with the false promise of showering with wealth. Amnesty international Nepal in its report writes," 10 years before the migrant workers number was about 55 thousand but today in these years the number has dramatically increased to 3 lakhs and even more. Further the number of migrant workers illegally entering the gulf countries or other countries for work is about 6 lakhs per year." But to their ill-fate, they are abused and worker's right has only found its way till the racks of different ministries and administrative offices. Amnesty International Rampur Youth Network organised a video presentation program with a theme of raising awareness about the present condition of workers, migrant workers and role of youth in combating the problem, today on International Worker's Day, May 1.
AI Rampur Youth Network's Human Rights Co-ordinator Uday Singh karki in his welcome speech stress on the fact that the three aspects of a worker must be secured; 8 hours work, 8 hours entertainment and 8 hours rest. Also he mentioned about the contribution of workers made throughout the world and to mark their contribution the May 1 is celebrated as International Worker's Day.
The chief guest of the program Mr. Arjun Adhikari, coordinator of Narayani Group 33 appreciated the continuous efforts of the network for conducting such programs and showed his gratitude for celebrating the International Worker's Day representing the whole Chitwan. He further added that the ultimate power to bring a change in the society, country and the world is bestowed in youths so we must stand together and raise our voice against the ongoing violation of worker's right, as they are also humans and they possess human rights by birth.
