Abstract

Due to social considerations, labour market pressures, and economic inequality, women's migration both domestically and internationally has expanded dramatically in recent decades. Human rights violations such as theft of wages, compelled labour, assault based on gender, and lack of proper healthcare and legal protection are disproportionately experienced by female migrant workers, especially those employed in the domestic service, providing care, and informal labour sectors. Global human rights conventions and national labour laws exist, but their enactment and enforcement mechanisms are either ineffective or uneven. The purpose of this study is to apply a human rights perspective to the existing situation of female migrant workers. In order to evaluate the extent of violations experienced by these women in different host nations and locations, it looks at both statistical and qualitative data. Language problems, lack of documentation, legal invisibility, and the lack of specific to gender migration policies are some of the major issues highlighted in the report. Sociocultural discrimination, restricted mobility, and insufficient grievance redress systems frequently exacerbate these problems. The effectiveness of current legal frameworks and policies such as the United Nations Conventions on the Rights and Freedoms of Migrant Workers (1990), the ILO Convention 189, and national labour laws in nations including the Philippines, India, and the Gulf states in safeguarding female migrants is assessed. Findings, however, show serious implementation gaps, including weak labour inspections, little access to legal aid, and little outreach. The study offers a fresh, comprehensive framework that combines technological, legal, and policy advancements to address these issues:

· The Digital Rights Access Portal for safety alerts, job verification, and legal assistance.

· Changes to migration laws that are gender-sensitive and specifically designed for women in high-risk occupations.

Establishing community legal support units in important migration routes.
Rising the number of victimization and abuse reports through the usage of mobile grievances redress services. The framework provides a durable and doable road map for governments, non-governmental organizations, and international organizations to safeguard this vulnerable group, and it is in line with durable Development Goals 8 (Decent Work) and 5 (Gender Equality).
