This research was part of “The Future of Work, Labour After Laudato  Sì” global initiative that connected   Catholic-inspired   and   other   faith-based   organizations   to   help   promote   and implement Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Sì in areas related to work.   The initiative brought together international, regional, state and local actors to improve global governance and to highlight just policies and good practices.  The International Catholic Migration Commission (ICMC) led the research track for this project on “Jobs, demography and migration.” The study on Southeast Asian fishermen working on Taiwanese fishing vessels is one of the studies commissioned by ICMC to SMC. The report is based on interviews with Filipino, Indonesian and Vietnamese fishermen on Taiwanese fishing vessels. The findings point to trafficking elements in the working conditions of migrant fishermen. Out at sea, the plight of migrant fishermen is invisible to the public eye.
