challenges:

The operating environment remains a challenge for CSOs and workers’ organisations due to restrictive laws and practices in several of the countries of implementation.

success:

In the programme, the work with FRN has demonstrated that workers’ can be supported to organise within restrictive environments through an organisation with strong grassroot connections. Engagement of workers through their peers in the communities they live in and the environments they work in is critical for this. Work with CSOs and workers’ organisations in Myanmar also demonstrates the importance of such organisations when operating in a very challenging environment. Both the provision of information and support of survivors of trafficking has been possible through working in a sensitive manner with these organisations in Myanmar. Another branch of the work with CSOs, the work with legal organisations, demonstrates the importance of civil society in helping migrants gain access to justice. Such services are not provided by governments and legal costs are outside of the means of migrants.

The engagement of NGOs, CSOs and workers’ organisations remains a key tool in ensuring better response to working condition violations, improved access to justice, and the provision of better response services for survivors of trafficking.
