Shaping attitudes and perceptions: Narratives on labour migration in shaping perceptions

Organized by the joint ILO-UN Women Safe and Fair Programme, in collaboration with UNODC, this webinar aims to share experiences of campaigning to build positive narratives on labour migration, women migrants' roles as agents of change who contribute through their skills, labour and remittances to their families, their communities and countries of origin and destinations.

Background

Continuing on exchanges and webinars conducted in previous years, the joint ILO-UN Women Safe and Fair programme, in collaboration with UNODC, is initiating a series of thematic webinars on issues of labour migration, which will bring together resource persons, experts, stakeholders from ASEAN countries and other regions on pertinent topics. The purpose of the thematic webinars is to adopt a strengthened regional approach to meet the needs of women migrant workers. This means, for instance, linking information and services across a women migrant workers' migration journey, discussions on skills opportunities for women, including skills recognition, access to better jobs, intersectional dimensions of discrimination in the world of work, discussions on issues related to fair recruitment among others.

Objective

"Shaping attitudes and perceptions: Narratives on labour migration in shaping perceptions" is one of the Safe and Fair's regional thematic webinar series in 2022. It aims to share experiences and good practices of campaigning to build positive narratives on labour migration, women migrants' roles as agents of change who contribute through their skills, labour and remittances to their families, their communities and countries of origin and destinations.
