This briefing looks primarily at the discrimination against women migrant workers in South
Korea. The South Korean National Assembly has, by enacting the Act Concerning the
Employment Permit for Migrant Workers (2003 EPS Act), begun a significant attempt to
protect the basic rights of migrant workers in South Korea. The Act prohibits discrimination
against foreign workers and is intended to give migrant workers legal status and to put an end
to human rights abuses against them2. However, short-comings in the implementation of the
Act reveal that migrant workers, especially women migrant workers, remain a vulnerable
community3. Details are found HERE.
