The program works to empower and better protect women migrant workers and girls; reduce the demand of cheap and exploitable labour by creating positive incentives for companies, recruitment agencies and employers; and to create a robust evidence base for more effective anti-trafficking interventions. Key stakeholders include private sector actors, international organizations and above all, the collective voice of women workers.
