| Title | Challenges And Opportunities In Making International Labour Recruitment Gender-Responsive: Lessons From India And Philippines |
| Summary | This paper was conceptualised in the backdrop of two significant developments in the past few years: renewed threats by the Trump administration of discontinuing work authorisation for H4 visa holders in the USA, and the Indian government’s acknowledgement of unprecedented rise in reported cases of abuse within NRI marriages. Immigrant women being common category of affected person in both, the developments merited a scrutiny of vulnerabilities among them, and the linkages with restrictions in policy regimes of labour and migration. Since Philippines is often upheld as a successful model of labour management in the field of international labour recruitment, this thesis enquires into the Philippines model as a comparative study against Indian experiences of labour export. It concludes that neither country have successfully fulfilled their obligations towards protecting universal human rights of women migrants for multiple reasons that are largely attributable to the inherent characteristics of neoliberal trade regime and corresponding weaknesses in international human rights regime. Further it proposes that the current challenges merit combined consideration of strengthening multi-lateral standards, and supra-national oversight on administration of justice, as recognition of emerging transnational subjectivities among a growing migrant population and the need for their incorporation in legal rights discourse. |
