This session aims to explore the problems met by women migrant workers on pre-departure, departure, placement in the country of destination, and on their return to their home country. Does their country of origin provide an adequate law to protect them? 
The session will seek to map law problems of women migrant workers in the world and facts about them. On the basis of this data we can figure out an adequate migration law to protect female worker migration, likely to be promoted in the sender country of women migrant workers.
