Resumo: Migrants customarily embark on perilous journeys and endure arduous circumstances to protect them­selves from immediate and often unavoidable harm in a determined effort to improve their lives. Since 1960 the number of international migrants has more than tripled. Today there are 272 million migrants worldwide, of which 48% are women.1 According to the International Labour Organisation, female migrants represent a large proportion of the total number of migrant workers globally and outnumber the nonmigrant women in labor participation. Their jobs are mostly concentrated in high- and middle-income countries. However, many remain stuck in low-paying jobs, often without employment rights or access to even minimum social and health protection.
