Today we heard out last speaker for Writer’s Fortnight, Seema Punwani from Transient Workers Count Too. TWC2 works towards educating migrant workers on their rights and helping them to come forward about any issues they face. Prior to the speech I already had a basic understanding about the issue, however my knowledge grew further, and I learnt much more about how these men are treated and how unaware some people are about it. However, what I did realise afterwards was that the speaker was taking a very slight bias approach to the whole topic. I mean she was not taking into account both sides, like how sometimes migrant workers might try to cheat the system into getting what they want. I am not generalising these workers but I would not be surprised if a case like this did come up and it turned into a bunch of excuses why someone would try to cheat their insurance to get money (for example), even if it was to send back home. I feel like both sides need to be considered to empathise with the workers but also to maintain order and structure in the system. I feel like to get an angle from this, I would need to research more into this topic and look at if the entire system is unfair, and letting migrants being treated this way, or if it is fair, and just wanting to maintain order.
