DUSHANBE 27 April 2007
DUSHANBE, 27 April 2007 - Ways of regulating labour migration and ensuring better protection of the rights of Tajik labour migrants were discussed at a meeting organized by the OSCE Centre in Dushanbe today.
The event, which was part of an OSCE-supported project to develop dialogue between the authorities and civil society, brought together some 70 government officials, representatives of political parties, media and national minorities and members of non-governmental and international organizations.
"Since 2004, the OSCE has supported a joint OSCE - International Organization for Migration information-resource centre for labour migrants in Dushanbe which provides information and individual counselling on immigration issues, registration requirements and other relevant issues in the most popular destination countries," said Bess Brown, Economic Officer of the OSCE Centre.
In 2006, the OSCE opened four information centres based on the model of the Dushanbe centre, in Khujand, Kurgan-Tyube, Kulyab and Shaartuz. Another one will open in Istaravshan this year.
