Migrant Rights, Migrant Realities: Women’s Labour Migration

GAATW International Secretariat

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.

When Bangladeshi women migrate for labour, they are helping their households' income and their country's economic development. But what do they get in return? Do they have a voice in financial decisions in their households? How is the Bangladeshi government using their remittances for their health benefits and social welfare?
