Catherine Bautista

Cathy acts as both the HR Coordinator and Contact person in Kuwait for the Center for Migrant Advocacy. She assists in the planning and organisation of recruitment activities, is a point of contact for those in distress and prepares correspondence on behalf of the Center. She has previously worked as a case officer in an NGO in the Philippines (the Association of Families of Migrants) which equipped her with the necessary skills to deal with cases of migrant workers. She would like to expand on these skills through her participation in the DTP training program, which she hopes will enable her to develop relationships with other overseas foreign workers and gain a greater understanding of human and migrant rights. She wishes to be actively involved in initiatives that address the problems associated with labour migration and welcomes the opportunity to share her own experiences as an overseas foreign worker.
