“As women’s roles change and they begin to assume a larger economic role within the family, they increasingly look abroad for sources of livelihood and more competitive wages for their labor. This book is an important first step toward understanding these new trends in migration and how they reflect on the evolving role of women in the global economy”
H.E. Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, President of Liberia
“International migration is one of the most significant global policy challenges of our time. By shedding light on women migrants—a group that has long been overlooked— this volume represents an important contribution to our understanding of the nexus between migration, gender, and development. Recognizing migrant women’s role in the development process is a first step toward promoting and respecting their rights as human beings and as agents for change in their lives.” Mary Robinson
