- comments:
- Future ending violence against women (EVAW) and labour migration programmes
- challenges:
- It can be logistically challenging to provide direct support to family members of WMWs who are based in migrant worker communities due to the sometimes remote and isolated nature of these communities as well as challenges related to designing and implementing effective M&E tools to monitor results.
- success:
- ILO and UN Women partnered with local CSOs to provide community-based capacity development support and information to family members of WMWs to help them better support WMWs throughout their migration journey and to act as first responders if WMWs experience difficulties including violence.
- context:
- WMWs have identified family members as one of the most important first responders to support them if they encounter difficulties when working abroad, including experiencing violence.
- description:
- Family members of women migrant workers (WMWs), community members, and local authorities require capacity support to understand the unique vulnerabilities facing WMWs and how to best support a WMW in need if they are to be effective first-responders and if the linkage between migrant worker communities and access to support services is to be strengthened. During its second half, the SAF Programme provided increased information to the families and communities of WMWs as well as local authorities on safe migration practices and how to help a WMW to receive support and services if she experiences exploitation or violence while working in a destination country. This was very useful and warrants future scale-up since it strengthened the capacities of families and communities of WMWs as first responders as well as the link between communities and access to services that can help a WMW when in need.
- administrative_issues:
- It can be logistically challenging to provide direct support to family members of WMWs who are based in migrant worker communities due to the sometimes remote and isolated nature of these communities as well as challenges related to designing and implementing effective M&E tools to monitor results.
