Migrant Rights, Migrant Realities: Women’s Labour Migration

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: Women migrant workers' position in the labour market | Igor Bosc

To understand women’s labour migration journeys, we have to situate their position in their home countries’ labour markets. In this first episode, Igor Bosc of the International Labour Organization speaks about patterns of employment and movement of workers in South Asia. How does the history of women’s participation in paid work affect their access to decent work, social security, and social protections when they become migrant workers? How do gender stereotypes affect their labour opportunities and inclusion in states’ economic policies when they return home?
