New Helpline for Filipino Workers Facing Migration Risks
Verité has launched a helpline for Filipino workers facing forced labor risks as guest workers in Japan. Generously funded by The Walt Disney Company, My Labor Matters is a communication platform that links migrating and returning workers with each other and with a network of supporting NGOs and other resources in Japan and the Philippines, including hotline, on-line training, legal resources and official information and trends. Workers can learn about risks and resources available to them through video and social media, including ‘Aimee’s Story’ which illustrates the risky journey that many migrants experience.
