Commission For Filipino Migrant Workers (CFMW)

CFMW was established in 1979, by a number of Concerned Filipina/os and religious Missionaries from Europe, as a response to the massive out-migration of Filipinas/os from the Philippines which was intensified under the economic and political conditions of the Marcos dictatorship. CFMW was established as a foundation to develop appropriate programmes and services in response to the various needs of the overseas Filipino community, thus building a “partnership of development” in Europe and in the Philippines. CFMW aims to develop an empowered migrant community where Filipinos and Filipinas are confident in representing their realities and struggles, are able to rally the organised strength of their community and capable of harnessing support from the international community. We aim to develop migrant empowerment through self-organisation, education and campaigns for migrant rights, gender equality and welfare. In promoting linkages, solidaIrity and in a spirit of co-operation and partnership with other migrant communities CFMW fights against racism and all forms of discrimination.
