Moving
On: Stories of DAWN Women Survivors |
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.

PAINS AND GAINS: A Study of Overseas
Performing Artists in Japan -
from
Pre-departure
to Reintegration |
| The book unveils the age-old
yet unresolved issues surrounding the migration
of Filipino women to Japan as entertainers
covering the entire process – from pre-departure,
in their work places in Japan, and during
their reintegration into Philippine society.
The year-long research conducted by the
Development Action for Women Network (DAWN)
and the proceedings of the Manila Conference
on September 17, 2003 co-organized by DAWN
and the Commission on Human Rights (CHR)
with support from the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung
are comprehensively presented in the book.
Pains and Gains presents the views and
insights of various sectors --- government,
civil society, private agencies and the
entertainers themselves who share their
personal experiences on labor migration
during the course of the data gathering
and at the Manila Conference.
The book discusses the legal, social and
economic issues confronting Filipino women
in Japan, highlighting their vulnerability
and dehumanization in the midst of economic
gains.
On its eighth year of advocating the rights
of migrant women in Japan and their Japanese-Filipino
children, DAWN has published this book to
promote its policy advocacy and encourage
stronger civil society efforts towards ensuring
just and humane conditions for Filipino
migrant workers and their families.
