Founded in 2013, Justice Without Borders (JWB) is a regional non-profit advancing transnational access to legal assistance for migrant workers. Focusing on those who have suffered labour exploitation and human trafficking, we address the unique strategic and logistical issues that lawyers and clients face in bringing cross-border claims. We also work to scale up our impact by imparting our expertise to a growing network of frontline NGOs, law firm partners, and government agencies, so others can take on the work of crossborder access to justice.
- Project Name
- Lifelines to Aid: Raising Caseworkers among Hong Kong’s Migrant Worker Unions
- Project Summary
- This project is a two-year capacity-building program for migrant domestic worker union leaders of the Hong Kong Federation of Asian Domestic Workers Unions. Focusing on developing legal knowledge, case handling skills, and other leadership skills through an intensive mentorship program, the project will create a solid core of trained caseworkers within the migrant domestic worker community who can provide greater service to women in need. Ultimately, the ripple effect of training, and training of trainers, will scale up service delivery and help more workers get the help they need, so that fewer victims of exploitation or abuse fall through the cracks.
- Beneficiaries
- 20 migrant domestic worker (“MDW”) union leaders from FADWU, who represent MDWs from the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, and Nepal.
