Ario

Ario is on the program staff of the Asian Migrant Centre’s Migrant Domestic Workers Program. The program conducts international campaigns for the rights and recognition of domestic workers. Ario engages with migrant domestic workers unions in the region to carry out capacity building programs and advocacy work for migrant and domestic workers rights in Hong Kong. Successful campaigns include the ending of extortionate policies regarding employment agencies for Indonesian workers in Hong Kong through pickets, training, media campaigns and lobbying. Ario is looking to increase his understanding of human rights issues to build his capacity for empowerment work for migrant workers in Hong Kong and assist his diplomacy capacity. He also hopes to gain further negotiating skills to increase the success of negotiations between government agencies and migrant workers.
