Indeed, considering this aspect, when the ILO developed a progrramme titled BRMM, the project focused both on male and female migrants and also did a feasibility study looking at Ethiopia-South Africa migration corridor. Moreover, as indicated earlier, the ILO promotes the provision of support based on the nature of the support and the target group. For instance, for the provision of economic and social reintegration assistance to returnees, the ILO encourages the provision of the support to both male and female returnees. Moreover, with the labour market assessment commissioned to review the market trends in Ethiopia and the Gulf States, the ILO considered labour markets that can absorb both female and male migrant workers.

title:

The focus of protection of labour migrants should also cover male migrants. Large outflow of male labour migrants towards the Southern parts of Africa are often not in a better situation than the women going to Middle East and Gulf states, as indicated in a baseline study conducted during the project inception phase. Male migrants heading for Middle East and Gulf states also often find themselves in bounded labour situations and therefore also are in need for attention from Ethiopia. Informants found that the current project would have benefitted from paying more attention to male migrant workers; it was felt that the lack of attention is likely to push more into irregular migration.
