Applications for the International Labour Organisation Global Media Competition on Labour Migration 2022 is now open.
Its aim is to recognize fair and balanced reports that contribute to the elimination of xenophobia and discrimination against migrant workers.
Recognizing and promoting ethical and quality reporting is increasingly significant, as media can promote a toxic public narrative reinforcing prejudice, intolerance and stigmatization against migrant workers and their families.
The Global Media Competition contributes to support the production of quality reporting and raising awareness about labour migration, which is a topic that features strongly in the United Nations Declaration on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in September 2015.
