Describe your workshop/presentation (300-500 words):
Sexual violence victims are often voiceless, due to their traumatic experiences of fear, disappointment, mental and physical breakdown. Migrant workers are additionally at risk, due to language and cultural barriers. The purpose of this workshop is to share the achievement of the migrant survivors and the support given by the GOH migrant shelters. Emphasizing cultural, linguistic, and personal aspects, migrant workers were able to rehabilitate and simultaneously regain energy by attending the #MeToowithMigrants movement. Voicing for more migrant workers has thus become an inevitable part of the rehabilitation.
