Abstract

The research examines how access to justice for unskilled Indonesian female domestic migrant workers in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is impeded by the legal and judicial systems of both countries, the substantive legal issues governing their situation, and the socio-legal context of the Emirate communities and its impact on the relationship between those involved in the migration sector. Research was carried out in the place of destination (UAE), rather than the home country, focusing on domestic migrant workers, the lack of labour legislation, endangerment and abuse of human rights.
