Aaprabasi Mahita Kamdar Samuha (AMKAS)
Aaprabasi Mahila Kamdar Samuha (AMKAS) is an organisation for, by and of returnee women migrants with a focus to unite and establish a strong network among women migrants workers. AMKAS aims to support women migrant workers, looking at both intra- and inter-country migration to advocate for their rights, enhance their skills and provide a safe space for women migrant workers to discuss, share and learn from each other's life experiences. Many women in Nepal migrate internally as a stepping stone to their overseas migration. Therefore AMKAS feels strongly that more intensive work and interaction is needed with women in this first phase of migration, to improve their skills and capacity and understanding of their rights. This in turn will reduce the risks and vulnerability to trafficking for those women who plan to migrate abroad.
