Migration Support
We help migrants navigate the complexity of migration and identify victims of exploitation, providing legal assistance for cases spanning scams, financial exploitation, unethical agencies, illegal recruitment and human-trafficking.
Our Support System
Our system meets migrant workers where they are. We intervene early via social media and communications technologies to help migrants avoid exploitation, and access remedy.
Through a network social media pages and groups, we provide actionable information to prevent exploitation, identify victims and provide tailored legal assistance and remedy.
Our system, which is not geographically bound, reaches migrant workers from the Philippines, Indonesia and Kenya across Asia, the Middle East and Europe, working in over 26 different sectors in over 55 different jurisdictions.
We support workers facing illegal recruitment, debt bondage, scams and abuse, and provide access to refund, remedy and repatriations. ​
