TITLE: Awareness raising campaign

Duration: 6 months

Background and justification: We find there is acute lack of awareness amongst trade union leaders and activists to give due importance to the migrant labour issues. As migrant workers are workers trade union must have policy and activists to address the problems of migrant workers in Bangladesh and host countries. Trade union can play a vital role as trade union works with ILO, ITUC and Govt.
