北京致诚农民工法律援助与研究中心(以下简称“农民工中心”)的前身是北京市农民工法律援助工作站，工作站成立于2005年9月8日，是经北京市司法局批准，由北京市致诚律师事务所和北京青少年法律援助与研究中心共同设立的全国第一家依托专职公益律师从事农民工法律援助的公益组织。2009年7月，经北京市民政局依法批准，正式注册登记为“北京致诚农民工法律援助与研究中心”。
　　Beijing Zhicheng Migrant Workers’ Legal Aid and Research Center (the “Migrant Workers’ Center”), formerly known as Beijing Legal Aid Station for Migrant Workers, was founded on 8 September 2005 by the Beijing Children’ s Legal Aid and Research Center (the “Center”) and the Beijing Zhicheng Law Firm and approved by the Beijing Bureau of Justice. The Migrant Workers’ Center is China’s first non-profit organization which provides fulltime and professional legal aid to migrant workers.
　　In July 2009, approved by the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Civil Affairs, the Migrant Workers’ Center was officially registered as Beijing Zhicheng Migrant Workers’ Legal Aid and Research Center.

The appointed lawyer then represents the migrant worker through mediation, arbitration, litigation, and other available channels to protect the migrant worker’s rights and interests. All professional representation is free of charge.

　　The Migrant Workers’ Center conducts in-depth research on problems that emerge from its cases and as well as the existing flaws in the current labor laws related to migrant workers. In this way, the Migrant Workers’ Center contributes to improving China’s laws and policies. To date, the Migrant Workers’ Center has published the following books: “How to Draw Up Labor Contracts”, “How to Demand My Well-earned Wages”, and “Who Took Their Rights – Analyses of Cases Concerning Migrant Worker’s Legal Rights in China”. We have also published the “Annual Report on Migrant Workers” as well as three other reports on industrial injury case analysis, wages in arrears case analysis, and collective case analyses. The Chinese government gives high regards to the Migrant Worker’s Center’s research findings and reports.

　　The Migrant Workers’ Center has participated in the formulation and revision of relevant laws and regulations such as Labor Disputes Mediation and Arbitration Law of the People’s Republic of China, Work Injury Insurance Regulations, Beijing Legal Aid Ordinance, and the Social Security Act and put forward a large number of constructive recommendations.

为了发动律师广泛参与农民工法律援助工作，保障更多农民工的合法权益，“农民工中心”在司法部和商务部的支持下，在中国法律援助基金会和联合国开发计划署的资助下，经过全国律师协会和各省律师协会的共同努力，建立由专职律师协调、志愿律师参与、覆盖广泛的全国农民工维权网络，培养出第一代农民工律师。
　　In order to mobilize broad participation of lawyers in migrant workers legal aid work, so as to protect more migrant workers’ legal rights and interests, the Migrant Workers’ Center established a national cooperative network for migrant workers coordinated by full-time lawyers and participated by volunteer lawyers. This network was established with the support of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Commerce, financed by the Legal Aid Foundation of China and the UNDP, with efforts of the All China Lawyers Association and the Bar Association of different provinces. It includes a wide range of coverage, and fostered the first generation of full-time migrant workers’ lawyers.
