Migrant Women: Trapped in the Vicious Circle of Harassment and Inequality, Environment: Science and Policy for Sustainable Development, 63:5, 26-32.0013-9157http://hdl.handle.net/10451/49443Migrants 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.engjournal article10.1080/00139157.2021.1953912
