Decreasing the Incidence and Impact of Modern Slavery

The project empowers first time female migrant domestic workers from Indonesia to make informed decisions on overseas employment. Through campaigning efforts, female migrant workers from West and Central Java will be aware of recruitment options and exploitative industry practices to avoid. Our strategic communications model provides factual information to women considering work overseas in the informal sector. It relies on direct counselling of first-time female migrants to accompany them in their decision making, especially in selecting recruitment agencies. We aim to work with returned migrant workers and recruit them as advisors, thereby improving employment opportunities. Community events and a social media campaign will amplify messages and disseminate information through local-language platforms and materials. Direct community influencing and engagement with recruitment agencies willing to change their practices will enable migrant workers to seek better employment outcomes.
