The Wi-Fi Now for Fishers’ Rights! campaign is in collaboration with Global Labor Justice – International Labor Rights Forum (GLF-ILRF), Stella Maris Kaohsiung, FOSPI and the Taiwan Association for Human Rights. The campaign urges the Taiwanese government to make access to Wi-Fi a legal requirement on board all distant water fishing vessels in order to provide migrant fishers with better access to grievance mechanisms, and allow them to stay connected with their family and friends.

Allies pledge

As part of the Wi-Fi Now for Fishers’ Rights at Sea campaign, an Allies pledge has been put together demanding the Taiwanese government take action to ensure access to Wi-Fi is mandatory on board all fishing vessels.
