SHOTLIST
1. Various shots, report launch
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Shauna Olney, Chief - Gender, Equality and Diversity (GED), International Labour Organization (ILO):
“Now, while migration itself is not a risk factor for HIV - and we have to be careful not to style it as that, as that itself will lead to discrimination – we want to better understand the specific factors linking to migration that increase migrants’ vulnerability to HIV. And we want to understand what can be done to overcome these obstacles, and again, that is very much the focus of this publication.”
3. Close up, reporter
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Patrick Taran, President - Global Migration Policy Associates:
“What it is, is the first ever comprehensive report on the intersection between migration and health. There have been a few pieces around, but this has been the first book that puts it all together, not only in terms of migration and health but in a global worldwide context and understanding. And the other especially important component of it and its importance is that for the first time it lays out not just the diagnosis but the prescription and the treatment plan, with a clear, comprehensive, integrated, programmatic approach; what we call the framework for action.”
5. Wide shot, conference room
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Patrick Taran, President - Global Migration Policy Associates:
“The book essentially analyses the interplay between labour migration, labour migration and migration policies, as well as effective health policies – and specifically responses to HIV and AIDS, and other communicable diseases. Noting that in fact, migrants tend to be in certain regions that have high risks, for example of tuberculosis, TB.”

STORYLINE
An International Labour Organization (ILO) report says that migrants’ access to health and HIV services can be improved only by adopting a human rights-based approach in the governance of the entire migration process.
Shauna Olney, Chief of Gender, Equality and Diversity (GED) from International Labour Organization (ILO) told reporters today (14 Feb) in Geneva “now, while migration itself is not a risk factor for HIV - and we have to be careful not to style it as that, as that itself will lead to discrimination – we want to better understand the specific factors linking to migration that increase migrants’ vulnerability to HIV. And we want to understand what can be done to overcome these obstacles, and again, that is very much the focus of this publication.”
ILO published a report in November 2017, which provides an analysis of the underlying issues around health and HIV in the context of labour migration. An overview of contemporary migration, with a focus on labour migration, is provided as basis to frame the discussion.
The report was prepared by Patrick Taran, with the assistance of the Global Migration Policy Associates’ team.
