ILO - 2009. The purpose of the study is twofold. First, to compile demographic information on labour
migrants to Europe and the patterns of Thai returnees who are trafficked or suffer labour
exploitation. Second, to assess the delivery of reintegration services in Thailand. The
methodology includes desk reviews, focus group discussions with returnees from Europe, and
individual interviews with returnees as well as service providing organizations in Thailand and
Europe. (from excecutive summary)

This report attempts to describe the synergy of the 5 days of the Peoples' Global Action and presents the events and discussion points raised during this parallel event to the 3rd GFMD in Athens, Greece. It shows how civil society engagement with the discourse on migration and development since the UN HLD in 2006 has grown with the strengthening of existing and new alliances. The workshop accounts in particular detail experiences and hopes and give recommendations. The diversity of the workshops shows the intersectionality of migration with other issues. The report also discusses the Future of the Forum (GFMD) and how civil society can better widen the space for discourse beyond the development benefits of migration and find the collective voice that would speak to the governments in the GFMD.

In the past decade there has been considerable interest in issues of funding and provision of care in public and social policy. The almost universal domination of women in caregiving, the growth in number of women in waged labour and the resulting withdrawal of some women from caregiving has led to opening up new fields of paid care work for other women. Women have migrated across the world to take over these tasks, leaving care gaps in their own households and thus fuelling further migration. Yet, the analytical focus of much of the literature on caring activities, concepts and models has largely been limited to the global North with the result that knowledge of migration, gendered labour and care regimes has significant gaps and omissions, especially as they relate to the global South. Migration is taking place not just from the South to the North, but also between contiguous countries in the South, where income levels between countries may not be much higher, and especially to some of the migration poles in middle-income countries, such as Argentina, Jordan, Malaysia and parts of Eastern Europe. Internal migration within countries may also be a significant element of migratory flows. Whatever the reasons and direction of migration, the mobility of women has raised concerns about the resultant rearrangements of care in sending contexts. This paper extends discussions of migration and care to the global South and lays out some questions that need to be addressed to help reflect local realities in discussions of care in the South.

ILO - 2009. This Report aims to set out the challenges facing the key actors and institutions involved in a global alliance against forced labour. There are daunting conceptual, political, legal, juridical, institutional and other challenges. The Report shows how such challenges have so far been met, often with the support or involvement of the ILO’s technical cooperation programmes. There is now a substantial amount of good practice that can guide future efforts to tackle forced labour in all its forms.
