abstract: 'Women migrants'' position in the global labour market is constrained by

  gender and racial divisions of labour, and the work they are offered is

  often insecure, low-paid and concentrated in feminised sectors of the

  economy, such as domestic work. It is not only women who predominantly

  perform domestic work, but also women of a certain race, ethnicity,

  socio-economic class and nationality. This article adopts an

  intersectional rights-based lens to examine how selected policies and

  regulations in the Philippines and Sri Lanka are discriminating against,

  and creating conditions for the systematic exploitation of, women

  migrant domestic workers positioned at the intersection of multiple

  converging identities.'
