The Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) is a government agency in the Philippines established to oversee the welfare and employment of Filipino workers abroad, often referred to as Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs). The DMW consolidates functions previously held by various agencies, such as the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA), to streamline processes related to recruitment, deployment, and protection of OFWs.
Key responsibilities of the DMW include:
Regulating Overseas Employment: Ensuring that only licensed and accredited recruitment agencies operate, and that job orders for overseas work are legitimate.
Protecting OFW Rights: Implementing policies and providing support services to safeguard the welfare and rights of Filipino workers abroad.
Providing Assistance to OFWs: Offering support to OFWs in distress, including legal assistance, repatriation, and welfare programs.
