THE International Labor Organization (ILO), the European Union and Stella Maris have joined forces to develop a comprehensive pre-departure orientation in the Philippines that will combat abuses, forced labor and human trafficking among Filipino migrant fishermen.

The project derives from the first-hand accounts of returning fishermen about their experiences in recruitment and working onboard fishing vessels. The vital information shared by these fishers will be used in a comprehensive pre-departure orientation and information package to help orient prospective migrant fishers as part of the government-mandated pre-departure orientation seminar (PDOS).
