Tripartite Action to Protect Migrants within and from the GMS from Labour Exploitation (TRIANGLE)

The aim of this five-year project is to reduce the exploitation of labour migrants in the Greater Mekong Sub-region and Malaysia by contributing to the development of legal, safe and orderly recruitment channels and improved labour protection mechanisms. Government partners, workers' and employers' organizations will participate individually and jointly in each of the project objectives: strengthening policy, building the capacity of the tripartite constituents to support the implementation of national policy and regional frameworks, and delivering direct assistance to women and men migrants. As promoted in the ILO Multilateral Framework on Labour Migration and the ASEAN Social-Cultural Community Plan of Action, Civil Society Organizations, including women and youth groups with valuable frontline experience will also be engaged in the project activities. The project will primarily target women and men migrants working in domestic work, manufacturing, construction, plantations, fishing and seafood processing. The project will also offer better protection to those in the entertainment industry. Direct recipients will be government officials; employers' organizations; recruitment agencies; workers' organizations; and civil society organizations with the ultimate beneficiaries being migrant men, women and children.
