This Convention was adopted by the General Conference of the International Labour Organization on June 24, 1975 and entered into force on December 9, 1978. While the provisions do not apply specifically to women migrant workers, they are relevant to women who migrate for employment. Part I of the Convention recognizes and seeks to prevent abuse of migrant workers, namely by suppressing clandestine movement for employment and illegal employment. Part II of the Convention affirms migrant workers' rights to equal opportunity and treatment relating to employment and occupation, social security, trade unions and cultural rights, and individual and collective freedoms.
