This UNIFEM programme ran from 2001 to 2003 in recognition of the discrimination, human rights and labour violations, and exploitation experienced by migrant women workers from Asia. The programme targeted women migrant workers in Asia and sought to promote the rights of women migrant workers through a rights based approach that empowers women and strengthens the accountability mechanisms to support them. This website provides information about the programme and access to its publications. News updates in the region and updates regarding projects in individual countries and in the region are also provided. [Descriptors: Migration - Labour migration, International - Asia]
