Trade unions regionally and globally often work on either migrants’ issues, or on gender equality and women’s empowerment. ACTRAV and Safe and Fair aim for this training manual to enable trade unions to address the specific needs of women migrant workers, bringing these two elements together.

The Dhaka Principles have been developed by the Institute for Human Rights and Business (IHRB) following extensive consultation, and are supported by business, governments, trade unions and civil society. They were first unveiled to the public at a roundtable on migration in Dhaka, Bangladesh, in June 2011. They are based on the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and international human rights principles. The Dhaka Principles outline the worker's roadmap from recruitment through employment to termination, providing key principles that employers and recruiters of migrant workers must adhere to in order to ensure migration with dignity.

Promoting fair recruitment is a critical priority in the context of both international and internal migration. As discussed in PART 1, a key finding of recent ILO research is that recruitment abuses – and in particular the payment of illegal recruitment fees and related costs – are one of the main ways in which forced labour and human trafficking enters supply chains.
The adoption of laws and regulations to help ensure that workers and jobseekers are not charged recruitment or related costs, or subjected to other recruitment-related abuses – addressed in the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration and international legal standards – is therefore critical to broader efforts against forced labour and human trafficking.
