Some Commentaries

"The establishment of the Institute for Migrant Rights and its publications program is a very important initiative in Indonesia. It is the first organization of its type in this country and indicates substantial progress by the non-government sector. The step is also a brave one as Indonesia has had very little focus, to date, on the rights of migrant workers."

"This initiative is absolutely essential to the struggle for migrant worker rights in Indonesia and beyond. The Middle East alone is home to millions of migrant workers living in deplorable living conditions, with little to no rights, let alone legal assistance. We support the Institute and anyone who wishes to tackle these human rights abuses should support the cause as well. We know that the Institute will do its best to provide sufficient legal assistance to thousands of workers in need, which is currently lacking worldwide, while providing solutions that can be effectively executed by both governments and workers."

Esra'a Al Shafei, Founder, Migrant-Rights.org

"There is much need for intelligible introductions to international human rights law, a law that is often misunderstood as too general and unrelated to domestic change. The United Nations offer an abundance of mechanisms that can serve to correct certain injustices. I have discussed his project with Mr. Iskandar and have witnessed first hand his commitment to human rights. I am sure his contribution will be very useful to those who militate for the human rights of all".
