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: Structurally unequal: When migrant workers contribute but have little or no benefit from social security schemes | Igor Bosc

If migrants supply substantial labour for countries of destination, why don’t they have access to the same social welfare benefits as local workers? And if they yield income for their countries of origin, why don’t their governments arrange social security schemes that would meet their needs whenever and however they want it? Where are the women’s voices in leveraging migrant workers’ access to social security funds?
