Gender mainstreaming in migration under the ILO Program of Safe and Fair: Realizing women migrant workers’ rights and opportunities in the ASEAN Region. The central objective (goal) of the Safe and Fair Programme is to make labour migration safe and fair for all women in the ASEAN region. This translates to three Specific Objectives: (1) Women migrant workers are better protected by gender-sensitive labour migration governance frameworks; (2) Women migrant workers are less vulnerable to violence and trafficking and benefit from coordinated responsive quality services; and (3) Data, knowledge and attitudes on the rights and contributions of women migrant workers are improved. Safe and Fair - Philippines focuses on women Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), both land and sea-based, at all stages of labour migration (pre-migration, transit, onsite, return). It is implemented at the national and local levels in the Philippines.
