Summary:

"Human Rights Watch conducted fact-finding investigations throughout 2010, and released 12 in-depth research reports and dozens of public statements on human rights abuses against migrants. This report compiles the main findings and recommendations based on this research and ongoing monitoring in Côte d'Ivoire, Egypt, France, Greece, Guinea-Bissau, Hungary, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Libya, Malawi, Malaysia, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain,Thailand, Ukraine, the United Arab Emirates, the United States, and Zambia. The report includes documentation of abuses against migrant workers, primarily in low-wage sectors such as domestic work, agriculture, and construction; violations of the right to health while in detention, including access to HIV and TB testing and treatment; limited investigations into abuse against migrants; trafficking; and overly restrictive entry, screening, and immigration detention policies that expose migrants to abuse, extortion, and violence at border crossings. Rights on the Line includes detailed recommendations to governments on reforms needed to prevent and respond to the array of human rights abuses against migrants."--P. [4] of cover.
