IOM X Cotabato Roadshow - Baseline Summary Report

In August 2016, IOM X conducted a baseline survey to inform the campaign content development for the IOM X Roadshow in Cotabato, Maguindanao, Philippines. Surveyors conducted face-to-face interviews with 243 women living in Maguindanao, aged 18-35, with low levels of education and an aspiration to migrate abroad for the first time, to assess awareness of human trafficking, previous exposure to human trafficking and safe migration information, trusted sources of information, self-perceived agency and media consumption habits. This summary report will be of value to practitioners intending to conduct communication campaigns for young women in Cotabato as the findings will help identify which communication channels to prioritize. The findings will also be particularly helpful for those intending to conduct safe migration campaigns or counter trafficking campaigns targeted at young women. A full report is also available.
