Women migrant workers straddle different worlds of rightlessness. In destination countries, they may be excluded from labour laws or be subjected to exploitation. In home countries, their gender, class, and ethnicity may disempower them within the household and labour market. However, migrant women are not only victims of oppression; they contribute to their families' wellbeing and the global economy. This podcast series inhabits the world that migrant women live in, understands it from a rights-based standpoint, and strives for policies that make work and migration radically safer.

Season 1: Indian women’s migration: Journeys of social stigma and discrimination | Praveena Kodoth

Women who work abroad face multiple forms of exclusion from their families, communities, and the governments of their countries of origin and destination. Whether they migrate out of compulsion or out of their own personal aspiration, they will most likely be unable to meet the “good woman” standards imposed by society.
