Abstract

Perhaps few fishworkers anywhere in the world have experienced the tribulations that Filipino men undergo aboard distant-water vessels (DWVs). Inhuman, often unsafe conditions of work and illegal methods of recruitment are still common, despite campaigns against this form of exploitation. The Philippines Anti-illegal Recruitment Campaign Programme can be traced back to 1990. During the Bangkok Conference on ‘Global Fisheries Trends and the Future of Fishworkers’, ICSF responded to a request of the Taiwanese delegation for an exposure to a Philippine fishing village. This was expanded to include a three-day seminar and workshop with the theme ‘The Conditions of Fishworkers on Distant-Water Vessels’.
