recommendations:

title:

Increase programming efforts to strengthen the immediate support network (i.e. husbands and other family members) of women migrant workers. • Aligned with Conclusion #4 • Recommended timeline: August 1st 2021 – December 30th, 2022 • High urgency, medium difficulty, high impact • Directed to the Safe and Fair Regional Programming Team Rationale: Women migrant workers often turn towards their immediate support network, which consists of husbands and other family members, when they encounter difficulties, including incidents of violence, during their migration journey. In order to provide women migrant workers with the support that they require, husbands and other family members need to be sensitized about the migration experience, capacitated to provide emotion and other kinds of support, and be able to help women migrant workers access essential services. Husbands and other family members are often also the source of violence against women and need to be targeted to encourage behaviour-change.

action_plan:

1. Continue sharing of information including service directories on available VAW services, and sensitisation outreach with men migrant workers and members of communities through MRCs, CSOs and peer networks 2. Continue to build capacities of civil society and community-based organizations on enhancing their community outreach, including through social media 3. SAF will continue focus of the programme’s communications campaign on addressing negative biases/stereotypes and perceptions against women migrant workers, with targeted messages and efforts in countries origin to families, and among community members to prevent violence against women migrant workers

comments:

Some of the recommendations contained in the report are not resource neutral or within the framework of the existing programme. The programme management team will initiate resource mobilization efforts for a next phase of the programme, building on those recommendations and reorienting the programme approach. SAF will continue to build the capacities of civil society and community-based organizations on community outreach; upcoming capacity-building activities will also be made available to male migrant workers in countries of destination, and to men and families in countries of origin. Since 2018, SAF has been conducting outreach activities to address the harmful stereotypes of women migrant behavior. SAF will continue focusing on integrating targeted messages into its communications efforts to counter negative community perceptions and attitudes towards women migrant workers, especially in countries of origin.
