The politics of women and migration in the global South
The politics of women and migration in the global South[electronic resource] /edited by David Tittensor, Fethi Mansouri. - London :Palgrave Macmillan UK :2017. - ix, 134 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Chapter 1. Introducing and contextualising feminised migration -- Chapter 2. The feminisation of migration? A critical overview -- Chapter 3. Gender and migration policies in Asia -- Chapter 4. Indonesian maids in the Arab world: Hopes, dreams, and disillusionment -- Chapter 5. Masculinisation or feminisation? Lebanese emigration and the dynamics of arranged cousin marriages in Australia -- Chapter 6. Women at risk and their right to asylum in Australia -- Chapter 7. Who cares? The unintended consequences of policy for migrant families.

This book shines a light on the issues of governance, rights and the injustices that are meted out to an ever growing and vulnerable sector of the global migrant community - women. Whilst much of the current literature continues to focus on the issues of remittances and brain drain, there has been very little that examines concerns regarding governance and rights for female workers. This is especially true of the case of women who are particularly vulnerable and have been subject to sexual abuse. Such an omission is pressing given the fact that, as of 2009, only 42 countries have signed the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of Migrants and Members of their Families. The authors thus demonstrate that migrants moving within the Global South are at a greater risk of being subject to social injustices on account of less developed welfare systems.
