If migrant workers are well managed and are well protected against abuse and exploitation, they can be of great benefit to both the origin (labour sending) and destination (labour receiving) countries. In reality, the situation is rendered complex by that fact that many do not enter the destination countries legally. While international migration can be a positive experience for migrant workers, many suffer poor working and living conditions, including low wages, unsafe working environments, a virtual absence of social protection, denial of freedom of association and workers‟ rights, discrimination and xenophobia. The origin and destination countries share the responsibilities to protect the rights of migrant workers. But their respective responsibilities are different. Myanmar is a major labour sending country and it is responsibility for protecting the migrant workers. Therefore the government should amend the Law Relating to Overseas Employment, 1999 including strong and practical migration protection policy
