dc.description.abstractIncreasingly, migration research is encompassing inquiries into the health needs of labour migrants, and particularly women, as a population at greater health risk due to their presence in a foreign context, work in low-skilled or unskilled jobs, reliance on employers and labour contracts, and lack of protection with respect to labour laws in both sending and receiving countries. Based on in-depth research among Filipina migrant domestic workers’ living and working in Hong Kong, Qatar and Singapore, this policy brief shows that a combination of personal and institutional factors affect the women’s experiences with their sexual and reproductive health, and access to healthcare services. Various measures are suggested that could result in better health outcomes among Filipina migrant domestic workers in destination countries.en
