Migrants in South Africa - a report from Human Rights Watch

Human Rights Watch issued a report earlier this month saying that migrants in South Africa suffer from discrimination and poor access to health care. 

Rebecca Shaeffer of Human Rights Watch says: "Migrants to South Africa are abused in transit, attacked upon arrival, and then denied care when they are injured or ill."

While you’re here…

Like you, we are horrified by the violence and the civilian death toll in Gaza, Israel and the rest of the Occupied Palestinian Territories. We’re calling for an immediate ceasefire by all parties in the occupied Gaza Strip and Israel to prevent further loss of civilian lives. Amnesty International is investigating mass summary killings, indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks, hostage-taking, and siege tactics.

As ever, our mission to protect human rights remains. Please donate today to help expose war crimes and protect human rights. Thank you.
