Pilot ILO Domestic Worker Empowerment Program (DWEP) Module Malate, Manila 5-6 November CMA piloted the DWEP module which was developed by the ILO to empower domestic workers. The module is a voluntary pre-departure initiative apart from the PDOS. The pilot of the module was facilitated by two former domestic workers, Marylou Monge and Maia Montenegro and attended by 20 domestic workers. The participants were taught about new laws, SSS membership, the importance of work, cultural differences and savings. The feedback of the domestic workers was positive as they found the module useful in preparing them for employment abroad. [Photos]
