Based on insights from Filipina experiences of domestic work in Paris and Hong Kong, this volume breaks through the polarized thinking and migration-centric policy action on the protection of migrant women domestic workers from abuse to link migrants' rights and victimization with livelihood, migration and development. The book contextualizes agency and rights in the workers' capability to secure a livelihood in the global political economy and is instrumental in making the problem of migrant women workers' empowerment both a migration and development agenda. The volume is essential reading for social scientists, bureaucrats and non-governmental political activists interested in the protection of the rights and livelihoods of migrants. It will also appeal to migration and feminist scholars who have yet to adopt the contribution of critical development studies in the analysis of low-skilled female labour migration.

This toolkit is developed for use by NGOs and other actors who have contact with women migrant workers, to empower these women to claim sexual and reproductive health rights. It is the product of a twelve-month project (April 2017/8) funded by the United Nations Gender Theme Group to investigate how key actors and stakeholders can support these women’s capacity to do so. We are grateful for UN support for this initiative, which allows us to investigate how problems and challenges in protecting the sexual and reproductive health of women migrant workers can be addressed.

This study aims to identify factors affecting the different state of empowerment using migrant workers' decisions to promptly respond to labour-related problems as a proxy. This study uses a quantitative approach, Multinomial Logistic Model, as well as a qualitative approach, an analysis of interviews.

Though the characteristics of migrant workers in these two countries are generally different, factors affecting migrant workers being in the state of empowerment are indifferent.

There is little evidence on the association between women’s migration, empowerment, and well-being, driven in part due to difficulty in measuring empowerment in the migration context. To better understand these linkages, we developed a Women’s Empowerment in Migration Index (WEMI) and validated it with survey of 1019 returnee female migrants in Bangladesh, who had returned after working internationally, mostly from countries in West Asia. By incorporating indicators of subjective well-being from migration literature into measures of empowerment, our paper advances research over earlier assessments of women’s experiences in the migration process beyond seemingly objective indicators, such as income, health, and economic welfare. We find that 14% of all migrant women in our sample could be classified as being empowered. Lack of membership in groups, restricted mobility, and lack of asset ownership are the largest contributors to migrant women’s disempowerment in our sample. We find that WEMI is strongly correlated with other measures of well-being, including mental health and livelihood-efficacy. Women with higher empowerment scores are also less likely to experience discriminatory labor practices and unsafe work conditions. With broad applicability to migrants from low and middle-income countries, WEMI can be used as a tool, helping to identify sources of disempowerment, and enabling stakeholders to develop interventions targeting the welfare of women migrant workers.

Vietnam annually sends a half million laborers to work at low-skill jobs abroad. Angie Ngọc Trần concentrates on ethnicity, class, and gender to examine how migrant workers belonging to the Kinh, Hoa, Hrê, Khmer, and Chăm ethnic groups challenge a transnational process that coerces and exploits them. Focusing on migrant laborers working in Malaysia, Trần looks at how they carve out a third space that allows them a socially accepted means of resistance to survive and even thrive at times. She also shows how the Vietnamese state uses Malaysia as a place to send poor workers, especially from ethnic minorities; how it manipulates its rural poor into accepting work in Malaysia; and the ways in which both countries benefit from the arrangement. A rare study of labor migration in the Global South, Ethnic Dissent and Empowerment answers essential questions about why nations export and import migrant workers and how the workers protect themselves not only within the system, but by circumventing it altogether.

Have you ever wondered what life is like for a migrant domestic worker in Singapore? In Our Homes, Our Stories women that work in Singapore as live-in domestic workers share their real-life stories. They write about rogue agents, abusive employers, complicated relationships, and that one thing they all suffer from the most: missing their families back home - in Indonesia, the Philippines, Myanmar and India. The women write about sacrifice, broken trust, exploitation, lack of food, salary deductions and constant scolding; but also about supportive employers, the love they have for the families they take care of, or how they use their time in Singapore as a stepping-stone to realise their dreams for the future. “It is my hope that these stories will prompt us, in this country, to do better as employers and to be better as humans.” Audrey Chin - Singaporean writer “I hope the readers will find my story inspirational and maybe even a little bit enlightening.” Jo Ann Dumlao - Domestic Worker and writer “A home is where you find unconditional love, compassion, support, where you forget your pain and fears; a safe haven where you get the courage to smile at life again.” Sai - Domestic Worker and writer “Hopefully our book will show that we are not only workers, but we are human beings.” Novia Arluma - Domestic Worker and writer All proceeds of this book go to HOME, a Singaporean charity that has supported and empowered migrant workers since 2004. All the writers in Our Homes, Our Stories are part of the HOME community, either as volunteers on their one day off, or as residents at HOME shelter for ill-treated domestic workers.
