How can technology raise labor standards for migrant workers? Last week, our Executive Director Rachel Micah-Jones stood on stage at the annual flagship meeting of MIT Solve to present on how Contratados.org is changing the balance of power for migrant workers.

Contratados.org, our Yelp++ for migrant workers, was named one of eight Solver teams in the Work of the Future challenge this past October. As Solvers, we’re part of a community of innovators, forming partnerships and tackling the the world’s most pressing problems in issues including economic prosperity, health, education and the environment.

During last week’s plenary, we presented our vision for how Contratados.org will shape a just, equitable future for migrant workers in front of hundreds of global leaders. You can watch Rachel’s presentation HERE!
