A call to action: Protecting migrant care workers

The Zonta Club of Taipei Cosmo, Taiwan, continues its dedicated efforts to support migrant care workers in Taiwan, addressing critical challenges through advocacy, collaboration and community-based initiatives.

Aligned with the Zonta Says NO to Violence Against Women campaign, the club marked the 16 Days of Activism by raising awareness and partnering with the Rerum Novarum Center on Human Rights Day, to assist runaway migrant workers who escaped abuse.

The club also extended support to shelters for pregnant workers and mothers, collaborating with Taiwan Harmony Home to provide refuge and resources. Recognizing the needs of undocumented children born to migrant workers, the club launched programs ensuring access to basic care, education and health services.

Through partnerships with NGOs and public outreach, the club calls for stronger laws, fair treatment by employers and greater societal inclusion to protect migrant workers’ rights and dignity. Their ongoing efforts underscore the power of advocacy and collective action in building a just and compassionate society.
