Samrachana Shakya

Samrachana Shakya is the administration officer at AHRCDF (Migrants’ Centre) and plays a key role in the organisation efforts to ensure that Nepal’s migrant workers are safe and protected. Ensuring migrant workers have access to the information that enables them to make informed choices about labour migration and to access support and information is one the key challenges. Gathering documentation and evidence to enable interventions on individual cases and advocacy for change is another. Samranchana is responsible for case documentation and follow-up and oversees Migrant Centre’s administration. She also participates in program work including monitoring and evaluating program activities and writing reports and proposals. AHRCDF is involved in case work – seeking compensation for absues, the safe return of workers stranded in Malaysia and the Middle-East and the return of the bodies of the growing number of migrant workers killed while working overseas.
