UAE, Philippines to tackle trafficking On September 22, 2017 Dubai-based EJN/ILO Labour Migration fellow Angel Lee Tesorero published an article about the United Arab Emirates and the Philippines signing a Memorandum of Understanding to stop trafficking in the Khaleej Times. This story was a follow-up to Angel’s series of stories published in July 2017: Runaway maids increased in UAE during Ramadan Risky recruitment of domestic workers is rife Household service workers get counselling, training after abuse Angel plans on developing these stories as part of the EJN/ILO Labour Migration Reporting Fellowship.
