invite you to participate in the Migrant Agricultural Workers’ Human
Rights and Health Conference taking place May 17th and 18th in

aims to provide a platform to exchange ideas and updates on law reform
work as well as formulate strategies that will increase the capacity
of workers to improve their rights and protections.

legal clinics, members of the private bar, organizers and activists,
the conference is open to anyone who is interested in developing and
