Book Synopsis Empowering Migrant Women by : Dr Leah Briones

Download or read book Empowering Migrant Women written by Dr Leah Briones and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-03-28 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
