This video – part two in a series of five – looks at the factors pushing women to migrate to other countries in search of employment; jobs that migrant women workers are limited to; discriminations faced before, during, and after migration; lack of protection in informal sectors; and how CEDAW General Recommendation No. 26 is relevant to address the issue.

This video was made possible with the support of Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation. We thank Wiem Ben Othmen for Arabic subtitles, Xiaoting Lin for Chinese subtitles and Natalie Russo for Spanish subtitles. Vietnamese subtitles were made possible with support of the Spotlight Initiative – a global, multi-year partnership between the European Union and the United Nations to eliminate all forms of violence against women and girls.
