Bangladesh–Bahrain relations
Bilateral relations / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bangladesh–Bahrain relations refer to the relationship between Bahrain and Bangladesh. Bangladesh has an embassy in Manama,[1] with Md. Nazrul Islam as the ambassador.[2] Both countries are members of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation.
The Labor Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA) estimate that around 70,000 migrant workers that live in Bahrain are undocumented. The majority of them are Bangladeshi workers. Although the government assert the labor code for the private sector applies to all workers, the International Labor Organization (ILO) and international NGOs noted foreign workers faced discrimination in the workplace. In many cases employers withheld passports, restricted movement, substituted contracts, or did not pay wages.[3]
