This book uses the cases of the Philippines and Sri Lanka to develop a comprehensive, intersectional, rights-based approach to better protect women migrant domestic workers against exploitation. As accounts of exploitation, gender-based violence, torture, and death among migrant domestic workers increase, the recognition and defence of their human and labour rights is an urgent necessity. The Philippines and Sri Lanka are two of the leading labour-sending states of women domestic workers in Asia, and their economies have become increasingly dependent on the remittances they send back home. Drawing on extensive original research, this book argues that these two sending states are guilty of structural violence by sustaining a network of institutions, policies and practices which serve to systematically disadvantage and discriminate against women migrant domestic workers. The research covers the entire migration process, from pre-departure, through to overseas employment, followed by return and reintegration. This book's innovative application of structural violence theory as a way to investigate the role of state institutions in labour-sending countries in the Global South will be of interest to researchers from across the fields of migration studies, gender studies, human rights law, and Asian Studies"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Women household employees. 650 0 $a Women household employees $x Abuse of. 650 0 $a Foreign workers, Filipino. 650 0 $a Foreign workers, Sri Lankan. 650 0 $a Employee rights. 650 0 $a Labor laws and legislation. 650 6 $a Employees de maison. 650 6 $a Employees de maison $x Violence envers. 650 6 $a Travailleurs etrangers philippins. 650 6 $a Travailleurs etrangers sri-lankais. 650 7 $a Employee rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00909055 650 7 $a Foreign workers, Filipino. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01860568 650 7 $a Foreign workers, Sri Lankan. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01729194 650 7 $a Labor laws and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00989967 650 7 $a Women household employees. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01734125 650 7 $a Women household employees $x Abuse of. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01766479 776 08 $i Online version: $a Henderson, Sophie. $t Protecting the rights of women migrant domestic workers $d Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2022 $z 9781003179085 $w (DLC) 2021041942 830 0 $a Routledge series on Asian migration. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021022047.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=18C92AE6803411ED944134D030ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
