Migrant workers good practices and lessons learned

Good practices and lessons learned

This collection of good practices and lessons learned from activities in both the Philippines and Thailand complements two case studies: Thai migrant workers’ experiences in Europe (Poland and Sweden), a “story book” of five Thai migrants’ versions of abuse in No Dream Come True…Only More Debt; and a collection of Filipino returned migrants’ stories of triumph and hope in Going Home, Making Good.

As far as provision of direct services is concerned, the Project reached out to more than 1,000 return migrants in Thailand and the Philippines, and provided them with economic and social reintegration assistance. This resulted in the organization of return migrants either as a cooperative, a migrant support association and/or a self-help group. In the process, the Project likewise developed models of “integrated total approach” to reintegration services for migrants and improved coordination between service providers.
