Crossing Borders Breaking BoundariesLove your food? Love, respect, and protect the hands that feed you! #workersrightsnow #migrantrights
At our first, cross-border meat sector meeting, we talked about discrimination, racism, poor health & safety practices, lack of progression, and how difficult and challenging this work can be, but also HOW VALUABLE THIS WORK IS, and that everyone should feel valued in their jobs.
We might live in places with different governments and laws, but together we can show each other solidarity and support:
"Once we are together, we can win"
"We are going to learn from each other, and learn how other people are dealing with these problems at work"
"I thought we were alone at our factory, but now I know others are facing the same problems"

This week we are focusing on culture and celebrating the different backgrounds we come from. Our challenge for you guys this week is to make a recipe from YOUR culture - we know there are lots of delicious foods from so many cultures and we’d love to see them!
To enter, post either a 30 second clip of you making your recipe and tell us what it is, or post a photo collage of you making it and eating it! Oasis staff will be getting involved too! You could be in with a chance of winning a *very exciting* family prize!
This challenge closes next Monday (8 June) at 4pm.
As part of our ongoing empowerment of migrant workers today we delivered a second session, alongside ICTU, regarding the working environment of temporary workers, focusing largely on the experience of Portuguese workers
Congratulations to our wonderful clients who completed our first ever 'Paths to Safe Employment' programme today! They have blown us away with their willingness to learn, be challenged and in their support for one another. New friendships forged and four individuals more equipped to understand their rights and integrate well into their community.
