"Safe and Fair: Realizing Women Migrant Workers’ Rights and Opportunities in the ASEAN Region (2018-2022)" is part of the Spotlight Initiative by the European Union and the United Nations (UN) aimed at eliminating violence against women and girls. This program, led by the International Labour Organization (ILO) and UN Women, under the auspices of the ILO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific, seeks to provide technical assistance and support to ensure safe and fair labor migration for all women in the ASEAN region.

The integration of Gender-Responsive Migrant Worker Resource Centers (MRCs) with One-Stop Integrated Government Services (LTSA) for Gender-Responsive Protection for Indonesian Migrant Workers is a pioneering model in Indonesia. It represents a multi-stakeholder collaboration involving the government, labor unions, and women's crisis centers. The Minister of Manpower, together with local district heads, has launched four Information Centers and Gender-Responsive LTSA for the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers and their Families (Migrant Worker Resources Center / MRC) in four districts: Cirebon, East Lampung, Tulungagung, and Blitar.

The workshop took place over three days, from August 29 to 31, 2022, at the Hotel Ciputra Semarang. The first and second days of the workshop were attended by stakeholders, including managers and implementers of MRCs in the four districts. The workshop was facilitated by Ms. Rini Wahyu Hariyani from RIWANI Globe, using participatory methods to ensure active involvement of all participants.

The workshop included dialogues with resource persons, followed by sessions for sharing experiences, findings, challenges, and best practices from the MRCs in the four districts. Discussions were also held to develop collaborative agreements on future plans.

Through this workshop, participants had the opportunity to exchange information and develop strategic plans to enhance the protection and empowerment of women migrant workers in Indonesia.
