 Half the World Deserves a Whole Voice:


		Empowering Migrant Women to Realize their Rights


 

Over 185 million people, 1 in 35, are migrants. Moreover, women make up
as much as 80% of the migrant workers in some countries. Migrant labor
contributes substantially to the economics of both their country of
origin and the country in which they live.  Yet, migration policies and
practices often fail to protect the basic human rights of migrants, and
migrant women and girls in particular are vulnerable to gender-based
violence and abuse.
