Activities

The Vietnamese Migrant Workers & Brides Office (VMWBO) was established in 2004 under the auspices of the Hsinchu Catholic Diocese of Taiwan. The office is run by Reverend Nguyen Peter Van Hung. VMWBO provides direct services such as: housing via three shelters, counseling, legal assistance, mediation, interpretation and translation. VMWBO is dedicated to policy advocacy work with respective Governments and NGOs to affect change at the systemic level. VMWBO also runs a year-round internship project for qualified individuals.

Recently, the VMWBO released a statement and recommendations concerning Taiwan's designation as a Tier 2 country in the 2007 U.S. State Department's Trafficking in Persons Report.
