Dear friends,
Warm greetings from GAATW International Secretariat!
We are pleased to bring you the last bulletin of the year. As we reach November 2023, it feels as if the year has passed too quickly. After two and half years of online work, like all of you, we also got busy with many in-person events. So several meetings, consultations, and workshops were held in different parts of the world. Many of you were part of those convenings. The remaining two months look busy too.
During August and September, we organised two consultations in Sri Lanka and the Philippines on women workers’ experiences of return migration and the various reintegration provisions that are available in their respective countries.
We also organised a learning visit to the UAE in August for some of our South Asian partners. They met up with migrant workers from their countries, visited their diplomatic missions, and also interacted with CSOs and representatives of the Government of Dubai.
