   In Kazakhstan, the amount of illegal labor is increasing every year. The majority of it is from Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan. Defenders argue that the guarantee of decent work and respect for basic human rights are not always taking place. In order to address the problem of securing the respect for human rights, Kazakhstan aims to legalize illegal migrants. NGOs will take part in this. Public Association the Legal Center for Women's Initiatives “Sana Sezim” is providing legal assistance to migrant workers, to cooperate with the staff of migration services. Today, volunteers at “Sana Sezim” meet with labor migrants and provide them with booklets and pamphlets on the laws of Kazakhstan.
