Descripción

EuropeAid has provided DanChurchAid with EUR 750,000 in order to provide services and support to Bangladeshis working abroad.

Migration has long been an important livelihood strategy for the people of Bangladesh. According to the government almost 9 million Bangladeshis work abroad, primarily in the Gulf, Malaysia and Singapore.

Most of these workers are unaware of their rights and they lack education and knowledge about the destination country. This puts them in a very vulnerable situation with a large risk of being exploited or abused.

Especially women are vulnerable because of their sex and their low levels of education and knowledge.

In the project DCA works closely with WARBE Development Foundation and Bangladesh Women Migrant Association (BOMSA).
