Frameworks Protecting OFWs, Domestic Workers Presented to UN
The Philippine Star
|July 07, 2025
The Philippines highlighted the normative and institutional frameworks the government built for the protection of overseas Filipinos and domestic workers during a meeting of the United Nations Human Rights Council.
The Philippine Permanent Mission to the United Nations in Geneva and UN Special Rapporteur on trafficking in persons, especially women and girls, Siobhan Mullally, co-organized a panel discussion on migrant domestic workers and risks to trafficking on the sidelines of the 59th Session of the Human Rights Council.
The aim was to present and exchange views on the findings of the special rapporteur's report titled "Migrant domestic workers and trafficking in persons: prevention, rights protection and access to justice," highlighting the policy and institutional gaps that increase the risk of trafficking for migrant domestic workers.
The Philippines, together with Argentina, Germany and Jordan, led the resolution that created the mandate of the special rapporteur.
