In this episode of Voices, IHRB’s Head of Migrant Workers programme Neill Wilkins speaks with Rosey Hurst, Chief Executive of Impactt, about the need to increase focus and action on the repayment of migrant workers' recruitment fees. Hurst highlights the work Impactt has done on 206 specific cases, which have informed the repayment of over a hundred million US dollars to 75,000 workers - a drop in the ocean of the overall amount of recruitment fees charged, and never reimbursed, to migrant workers.
