Migrants Taught How to Avoid Being Cheated and Trafficked in Guangdong, China

Migrants in China learn a valuable skill.

Guangdong Provincial Labour and Social Security Bureau issued a notice on the 8th requiring all levels of the bureau in the province to swiftly establish rural migrants counselling points at the major transit centres for rural migrant workers including ports, bus stations, and wharves in order to combat illegal job agencies. In order to supervise the employment offers made to migrants entering Guangdong, and to provide assistance to prevent rural migrant workers from being cheated or trafficked, the bureaus have issued 'Spring breeze cards' which include the addresses and telephone numbers of job agencies, and the telephone numbers of the labour bureau as well as other related information.
