You are invited to participate in a Stakeholder consultation on IOM development of Gender-Based Violence and Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse training module for seasonal workers from Central Asia

• 17th July 10-11am
• Register here

IOM is looking for feedback to develop a self-help resource for Central Asian migrant workers in the UK SWS. Today is the last day to complete this short form (it takes less than 3 min).

• One of the outputs of the IOM's Safe Migration project for this year is to develop a self-advocacy resource for migrant workers to help them to be aware of specific risks and be able to advocate for themselves or access the help they need while in the UK.
• Depending on the specific topic/s for the resource, the resource could be provided as a physical leaflet pre-departure through Pre Departure Orientation (PDO) and/or post departure during induction; as a poster placed with the employer.
