Abstract
The report on workshop proceedings focuses on Burmese migrant women’s working conditions and rights, as well as the underlying drivers in both Thailand and Burma, which have lead to establishment of new industries and workers in the border areas of these two countries. Their experiences of rights and entitlements as migrant workers and as citizens, is mediated in both the country of destination, and of origin, and directly shaped by prevailing gender relations and norms as well as state regulation in these different places. The workshop included scholars working on labour migration issues in Asia, Europe and the Americas.
