The pandemic saw a significantly higher number of migrants who needed to return home to COOs because of the conditions generated or exacerbated by COVID-19. Repatriation in this context also went beyond mere transportation and administrative assistance, having other challenges and concerns attached which demanded consideration and addressing \u2013 health and safety, job loss, nonpayment of wages, and more.<\/p>\n<p>A Virtual Launch for the three studies was held last 4 October 2020. Findings and recommendations of the three studies were given by Chowdhury Abrar (Executive Director, RMMRU), Akhil CS (Research Lead, CIMS), and Sujeewa Lal Dahanayake (LBB-SL).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read and access the studies below:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mfasia.org\/migrantforumasia\/migrantforumasia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Bangladesh-Repatriation-Study.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4674 size-medium aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/mfasia.org\/migrantforumasia\/migrantforumasia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Bangladesh-Repatriation-Study-212x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"212\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1YmteMx6IqUIoCJXTbfya_Q2Ixpuy79oe\/view\">MFA and RRMRU Study on COVID-19 and Experiences of Return of Bangladeshi Migrants from Middle East<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mfasia.org\/migrantforumasia\/migrantforumasia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/India.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4675 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/mfasia.org\/migrantforumasia\/migrantforumasia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/India-212x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"212\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1A0FX_KtLor4uN5mplMhNV7Pv3ygVZkg-\/view\">An Evaluation of the Repatriation Process of Indian Migrant Workers from GCC countries during the COVID-19 Pandemic<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mfasia.org\/migrantforumasia\/migrantforumasia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Sri-Lanka-Repatriation-Study.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4677 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/mfasia.org\/migrantforumasia\/migrantforumasia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Sri-Lanka-Repatriation-Study-212x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"212\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1jJImLHxjaOALwTMzcuQlj0cU6bFX2hno\/view\">The Report on COVID-19 and Sri Lankan Migrants: Analysing the process of repatriation of Sri Lankan migrant workers during the COVID-19 crisis<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Launch of Repatriation Studies of Bangladesh, India, and Sri Lanka Migrant Forum in Asia (MFA) together with Refugee and Migratory Movements Research Unit (RMMRU), Centre for Indian Migrant Studies Kerala (CIMS), and Lawyers Beyond Borders Sri Lanka (LBB-SL) conducted three studies to assess the conditions of migrants, the support or services provided, and the repatriation [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[44,23,13,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4673","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-announcements","category-latest-news","category-news","category-resources"],"brizy_media":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mfasia.org\/migrantforumasia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4673","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mfasia.org\/migrantforumasia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mfasia.org\/migrantforumasia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mfasia.org\/migrantforumasia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mfasia.org\/migrantforumasia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4673"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mfasia.org\/migrantforumasia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4673\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mfasia.org\/migrantforumasia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4673"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mfasia.org\/migrantforumasia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4673"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mfasia.org\/migrantforumasia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4673"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
