According to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs: International Migration Report (2019), the global migrant population surged from over 153 million in 1990 to more than 272 million in 2019, representing nearly a twofold increase.
The vast majority of countries lack effective methods to reduce or curb the undocumented migrant population within their borders.
Behind this massive population movement lie not only the hardship of drifting in foreign lands and the helplessness of undocumented residency, but also human trafficking syndicates lying in wait. Beyond economic pressures, international migrant labor faces far more challenges than we can imagine.
The JRF Taichung Office is honored to participate in the 2020 International Human Rights Film Festival and has invited Shu-han Lin, Refugee Specialist at the Taiwan Association for Human Rights, to share the migration dilemmas behind "Exodus," and Attorney Chi-Wei Liu, legal counsel for the Nguyen Quoc Phi case, to share the blood, sweat, and tears behind "Nine Shots."
"Exodus"
Afghan migrants in Iran are seeking a way home—a couple who are not husband and wife, friends who are not really friends—racking their brains to leave the country, much like when they once tried to enter Iran.
"Nine Shots"
At the moment of the nine gunshots, did migrant worker Ah-fei think of his family back in his homeland? Ah-fei's father traveled abroad for the first time, only to retrieve Ah-fei's body.
We sincerely invite you to join the JRF Taichung Office in lifting the curtain on international migration issues and peering into the reality hidden beneath the iceberg.
