THE POSITION OF MIGRANT WOMEN FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF EMPLOYMENT AND LABOUR RELATIONS − THE ROAD TOWARDS EQUALITY AND THE CHALLENGES BY THE ROAD
Abstract
Many women around the world decide or are forced to cross a path of several hundred or thousands of miles for various reasons, but at the same time for reasons that through one phrase can be expressed as a search for a better future. In this context, the paper deals with the issue of challenges faced by migrant women who are migrants for employment, i.e., migrant workers. Regardless of the existence of a developed international legal framework related to the position of migrant women, they are often put in a worse situation in the field of employment and labour relations in practice, based on (at least) two grounds. Given this, the hypothesis put forward in the paper is that migrant women are often victims of intersectional discrimination, and that it is necessary to pay additional attention to the issue of protection of migrant women in the labour market and in the sphere of labour relations. Although the path towards equality includes a number of challenges along the way, equality as a goal makes every step towards achieving the goal valuable and significant.
