Online empowerment: Migrant workers, who are often subjected to abusive employment once they arrive at their new workplace, can now voice their complaints on peer-review sites like Contratados.org.

BOGOR, Indonesia: A Mexican migrant paid a recruiter thousands of dollars for work in the United States, only to endure slavery, time in jail and finally deportation.
