An Indonesian language news platform based in Taiwan reported on our campaign pushing for Wi-Fi for fishers at sea. The campaign is in collaboration with Global Labor Justice-International Labor Rights Forum (GLJ-ILRF), supported by Taiwan Association for Human Rights, Stella Maris Kaohsiung and Fospi Donggang Pingtung. Many of the fishers on distant water fishing vessels are migrant workers from countries such as Indonesia and the Philippines. Therefore, it is promising to see our campaign being covered by global news platforms; resources in different languages such as Indonesian will make our work more accessible to the affected communities.
