UN Women likewise served as resource at the training of trainers organized by IOM in Jan/Feb 2023 on the use of the handbook by government and CSO personnel involved in migrant worker reintegration. 3) Development and dissemination of IECs on gender-responsive migration governance, including a mini-documentary (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdY5Okns2zc) and social media materials. These are part of a bigger package of IECs that included 3 explainer videos produced in 2022, but also shown at BRIDGE activities in 2023.
