The competition aims to promote balanced and ethical reporting on migrants and labour migration and encourage the media to address stereotypes and misconceptions.

To mark International Migrants Day on 18 December the International Labour Organization (ILO) has announced four winners of its 2021 Global Media Competition on Labour Migration.

This year, specific coverage of issues related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on migrant workers was encouraged, as well as stories about migrant domestic workers to mark the 10th anniversary of the ILO Domestic Workers Convention, 2011 (No. 189) .

The competition aims to promote quality reporting on labour migration issues, since balanced and ethical reporting can play an important role in addressing stereotypes and misconceptions, and highlight the positive contribution migrant workers make in their countries of origin and destination.
