dc.description.abstractThe Philippines is one of the leading sources of migrant workers in the world. Domestic workers comprised about 20 percent (71,557) of total new hires for 2009, of which 97 percent (69,669) were women. Through individual case study stories, the book documents how women’s lives are impacted by lack of access to reproductive health information and services. The low level of awareness of new hires/migrant domestic workers about their health and other entitlements, as stipulated in work contracts and provided by host countries, prevent access to medical and health care.en
