Does legislation explicitly prohibit retaliation for reporting workplace discrimination based on migrant status?

Map reflects policies in place as of August 2016. Updates of these data are currently in progress.

The term “migrant status” includes references to ‘internal migrants’, ‘foreign migrant workers’, ‘immigrant status’, and ‘economic migrants.’ For the purposes of this variable, the term “migrant status” captures all of these definitions

No explicit protection from workplace discrimination based on migrant status means that legislation does not explicitly prohibit migrant status-based workplace discrimination broadly, nor specifically against discrimination in hiring, pay, promotions and/or demotions, terminations, nor harassment. This does not mean that legislation denies this guarantee.

No explicit protection from retaliatory action or dismissal means that legislation does explicitly prohibit at least one of these forms of workplace discrimination on the basis of migrant status. However, legislation does not pair protections with an explicit prohibition of retaliatory action or dismissal for reporting workplace discrimination on the basis of migrant status to the responsible body.

Explicit protection from retaliation means that legislation both explicitly prohibits at least one of these forms of workplace discrimination on the basis of migrant status and prohibits retaliatory action or dismissal for reporting workplace discrimination to the responsible body.
