House Deputy Minority Leader and ACT Rep. France Castro on Monday appealed to the government to scrap entirely the proposed
travel guidelines by the Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking , stressing the need for a comprehensive review of the existing policies.
“We cannot allow measures that potentially violate the rights of innocent individuals, especially overseas Filipino workers , who are already vulnerable to exploitation and abuse,” she added. “We need to prioritize the protection and welfare of our fellow Filipinos, especially those who work overseas to support their families. Any policy or guideline that undermines their rights and freedoms is unacceptable,” she added.
“We must address the systemic factors that contribute to human trafficking instead of relying solely on restrictive travel guidelines. This requires a multi-faceted approach that tackles poverty, promotes decent work, and provides social services to our marginalized sectors,” Castro explained.
