Government’s Pledge and Measures

Recognising the seriousness of the situation, the government launched an extensive evaluation of the AEWV programme and revealed a support package. For the affected migrants, this includes emergency cash aid for travel, lodging, and other necessities of life. Additionally, the Migrant Exploitation Protection Visa (MEPV) provides a prolonged work search period in an effort to lessen the difficulties faced by exploited migrants.

Navigating Challenges

Despite the fact that the support package is a positive move, worries over the MEPV’s six-month term continue to exist. Advocates are concerned that this time frame may not be long enough for immigrants to find meaningful employment, which highlights the need for more extensive systemic changes. This entails tightening immigration regulations and vetting potential employers thoroughly.

Finally, it should be noted that the fight against migrant exploitation is ongoing and demands a multifaceted strategy. To provide a safer and more equitable environment for migrant workers, it is essential to implement stricter legislation, improved employer vetting procedures, and longer MEPV durations. We can build a New Zealand where all immigrants may pursue their aspirations without worrying about being exploited by combining our efforts and concentrating on changes.
