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: A journey full of "no's": Migration of Nepali women workers | Shristi Kolakshyapati

The labour migration of women is replete with negatives. They have no decent work opportunities at home and yet they are banned from working abroad. As Nepali women provide migrant labour in the global care economy, what kinds of intervention will guarantee them their human rights as workers? How would policy actions based on the fundamental recognition of women's paid and unpaid work look like?
