SELF-EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM FOR MIGRANT WOMEN (SEPOM)
SEPOM was formed in 2001 by Thai women migrant workers who had returned from Japan and a Japanese volunteer. SEPOM’s main objective is to empower and provide support for Thai women returnees from Japan. Many, but not all, of returning women from Japan have been trafficked. SEPOM outreaches to community members to identify returnee migrant workers and trafficked women, offers direct assistance (through home visits, self-help groups, counselling and legal aid, and an HIV/AIDS fund), co-ordinates care and treatment with the hospital and provides skill development training. SEPOM has also completed extensive work in seeking citizenship for the Thai-Japanese children of returnee women and in supporting the well-being and development of Thai-Japanese children through scholarships, educational and recreation activities. They have also developed income generation opportunities for women through seed funds, a cattle bank, a savings group and employment through the organisation.
