A person may go away from his homeland as part of his pursuit of work, hoping for an opportunity to increase his capabilities or find a job opportunity with high income that will enable him to face the burdens of life or help his family to deal with the burdens or to escape from civil wars that kill lives there, so he started what he knows Idiomatically for migrant workers, who are people who work outside the borders of their countries. International conventions for the United Nations and the International Labor Organization have drawn up many laws that guarantee the protection of migrant workers' rights Outside their countries related to their regularity in trade unions, or their receiving their salaries on time, annual and sick leave, their right to adequate housing, or their right to equality with the workers' country in wages.
