KRThe South Korean government reported a significant rise in human rights abuse complaints from migrant workers following the launch of a multilingual hotline. In the first month of operation, the 1345 Immigration Contact Center received 142 reports, compared to an average of 22 per month before the hotline was established. The service, which operates in 20 languages, allows foreign workers to report issues such as unpaid wages, sexual harassment, and passport confiscation.

The ministry attributes the surge in reports to improved accessibility and streamlined reporting processes.
