Seafarers' Bill of Rights

The Seafarers' Bill of Rights is a set of standards established by the Philippines to improve the working conditions and protect the rights of Filipino seafarers. It ensures fair wages, safe working environments, access to medical care, and resting time. The bill also advocates for proper recruitment, legal protections against abuse, and support in case of emergencies or accidents. Its goal is to uphold seafarers’ dignity, well-being, and job security, recognizing their vital role in global shipping industries while safeguarding their human rights and ensuring they are treated fairly and ethically.
