comments:

The Regional Management Team agrees that there are promising opportunities for ILO and UN Women in collaboration with UNODC to scale up and replicate the efforts and results achieved by SAF.

action_plan:

Build on the relationships with government partners, employers’ organisations, service providers, and CSOs established under the SAF Programme to continue supporting collaborative work across VAW and labour migration actors to strengthen policies and frameworks as well as VAW referral systems that protect the rights of and serve WMWs. Support the implementation of SOPs developed under the SAF Programme that protect the rights of WMWs and increase their access to VAW services. Scale-up and/or replicate capacity development support to first responders (family members, embassies, consulates, employers organisations) so that they are equipped and capable to help WMWs who are experiencing exploitation or violence (including apps like My Journey App in Cambodia). Continue to support programming initiatives that directly empower WMWs and that support WMW organising as well as strengthen support for women’s rights movement building. Continue to support governments and CSOs to collect and use disaggregated labour migration and EVAW data (including data disaggregated by gender, type of violence, and sub-group of vulnerable WMW).

Recommendation #1: Further invest time, resources, and strategic thinking to continue promoting the rights of WMWs and integrating EVAW into labour migration laws, policies, programming, and training by further rolling-out, scaling-up, and replicating the successful programming elements that have been initiated under the Safe and Fair Programme.  Aligned with Conclusion #2  Recommended timeline: 1 January 2024 – no end date  High urgency, medium difficulty, high impact  Directed to ILO, UN Women, and UNODC senior staff Rationale: The SAF Programme had a short implementation period considering that it took time to set up such a large and complex initiative, engage stakeholders and secure stakeholder buy-in around a relatively new topic that addresses the intersection of VAW and labour migration, and overcome delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The programme has set a strong foundation for future programming in this area and has initiated many promising practices that require time and investment to further roll-out, scale-up, and replicate to achieve widespread impact.
