The book presents twelve inspiring stories of DAWN women returnees who have survived the odds as former entertainers in Japan. It talks about the realities of life --- the push factors that drive women to work in Japan, the nature of their job as entertainers and the difficulties upon their return. How they managed to surpass the challenges and the lessons learned in the process were shared by the women survivors themselves by writing their stories for this book.

Moving On has both the Filipino and English versions of the stories for the benefit of DAWN’s local and international networks.
