In 2022, BEBESEA with a support from The Sasakawa Peace Foundation published a study about Strengthening Health Protection for Migrant Workers in East and Southeast Asia. The said study enabled deepening understanding on what is “on papers” about policies regarding protection of migrant workers, including insights from the perspectives of academics and practitioners, while there is a lack of perspectives from the migrant workers themselves. Considering the said lack of perspectives, BEBESEA later developed a further Participatory Action Research to give space for migrant worker communities to share their stories and their experiences on their access to social protection, in order to have a deeper understanding on aspirations of migrant workers related to social protection and what action for changes they wish to see and take. So, basically, what impact does the migration bring to the family left behind? What does social protection mean to migrant worker communities? And how it really affects their lives? VOICESEA Podcast had an opportunity to have a conversation with Sherry Wang from Serve the People Association and Razel Navalta from Kakehashi, who are both research collaborators and have worked with migrant workers communities in the said research. If you eager to know the answers of the questions above, don't miss this episode! Special thanks to: The Sasakawa Peace Foundation, Serve the People Association, and Kakehashi.Transcript
