These support systems are usually provided by Ministries of\n Labour and Foreign Affairs. Ideally, services such as pre-departure and\n post-arrival orientation, document authentication, shelter, legal \nassistance, complaints mechanism, and repatriation should be available \nfor workers during the entire migration process. However, because of \ngaps and other challenges, civil society organizations (CSOs) are also \nstepping in to extend further assistance to migrant workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recognizing the importance of support systems for migrant workers,  the Migrant Forum in Asia (MFA) developed and released in 2017  infographics of the services being provided for migrant workers by the  governments of Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Nepal, Philippines, and Sri  Lanka in top destination countries. MFA also began updating the  infographics this 2019 by covering the services being provided by both  government and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in both the origin and  destination countries. Infographics were also developed on available  support systems for countries of destination namely Singapore and  Malaysia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The information on support systems in Singapore was compiled through desk research and contributions from MFA members and partners in Singapore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"947\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/mfasia.org\/migrantforumasia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2019-Singapore-947x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3767\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mfasia.org\/migrantforumasia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2019-Singapore-947x1024.png 947w, https:\/\/mfasia.org\/migrantforumasia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2019-Singapore-277x300.png 277w, https:\/\/mfasia.org\/migrantforumasia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2019-Singapore-768x831.png 768w, https:\/\/mfasia.org\/migrantforumasia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2019-Singapore-1420x1536.png 1420w, https:\/\/mfasia.org\/migrantforumasia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2019-Singapore.png 1886w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 947px) 100vw, 947px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Support systems are vital in protecting and promoting the rights and welfare of migrant workers in countries of origin, transit, and destination.
