Migrant exploitation is pervasive in Aoteroa NZ and a modern form of slavery. Vulnerable migrants are stripped of their dignity, face severe financial hardship and risk deportation if they leave their employment in breach of their visa conditions. It is currently too easy for exploiting employers to underpay and ill-treat migrant workers and then evade any meaningful accountability. I work at Community Law as an employment/immigration lawyer. I would like to raise awareness for migrants of their employment and immigration rights. The content will be translated into different languages. I am also developing an employer verification scheme which will allow consumers to make an informed choice about which restaurant, takeaway shop, liquor store, superette or other business they visit. The verification process, will assure consumers that employers are complying with minimum employment standards. I would love help with designing posters/social media posts / branding for this project
