How can I protect myself from abuses, exploitation, bondage, etc.?

Make sure that you migrate regularly with the correct and complete documentation
Have an open, honest and regular communication with your supervisor or employer
Be responsible in your job and do not tolerate any form of abuse, exploitation or discrimination
Observe the laws and regulations accordingly
Be updated with current laws, issuances, news, etc. from the government or employer; check with the employees’ association or trade union regularly
Join or build up a support network among migrants or colleagues in your work site (or a union or employees’ association if this is allowed); you can support one another or advocate for the welfare and protection of one another
Establish regular contacts and dialogue with your Embassy or Consulate as well as with other migrant organizations and civil society groups
