Thailand: Making strides towards advancing migrants’ rights agenda
Bangkok-based Foundation for Labour and Employment Promotion (FLEP) will be working with female migrant domestic workers (MDW) to empower them to gain knowledge on reproductive and occupational health and safety, enhance access to public healthcare services and redress mechanisms. Information and mobile technologies, including bilingual mobile apps and online social platforms will be set up as a tool for information dissemination and direct response to MDW’s grievances and complaints. Additionally, the project will enhance capacities of migrant and Thai domestic workers as peer educators – referred to as “Hello Volunteers” they will provide counselling as well as facilitate referrals of serious cases to the Crisis Response Team run by FLEP.
