Beyond well-trodden paths: Transnational migration in Southeast Asia

“SEA Junction and the Global Alliance Against Traffic in Women (GAATW) are organizing a knowledge sharing and evidence-based advocacy for socio-economic inclusion of migrant and trafficked women from Southeast Asia to Europe: both those who currently live in Europe and those who have returned to their home countries. To achieve the objective of promoting rights-affirming labour migration policies and anti-trafficking measures on these migration routes, we are holding a series of six-monthly webinars with the title “Towards Safe Southeast Asia-Europe Migration Corridors”, which will look at current and emerging challenges and possible policy solutions.

The first event will be on 6 June 2022 at 4-5 pm (Bangkok Time) on Zoom (Link: http://bit.ly/BeyondWellTroddenPaths) and Facebook Live: SEA-Junction and GAATW page. Maruja M.B. Asis, Director of Research and Publications at the Scalabrini Migration Center, will provide an overview of migration out of Southeast Asia to other regions to place migration to Europe into context. After her 20-minute presentation, it will be followed with Q & A session moderated by Rosalia Sciortino, Founder and Executive Director of SEA Junction.”
