Impact of the criminalization of migration on the protection and enjoyment of human rights 2010, para. 80
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur encourages the establishment and implementation of institutionalized services and programmes to provide comprehensive support and protection to persons arriving in mixed migratory flows, especially women, children and the elderly, including means to detect those who are in need of international protection. Protection services should include access to humanitarian assistance in the first instance, including adequate food and water, and access to health services, legal advice and effective asylum procedures. Longer term needs should include access to durable solutions in the case of persons in need of international protection and support for return to the community of origin for those people who are deemed able to return with no risk to their human rights.

Paragraph
Enjoyment of the rights to health and adequate housing by migrants 2010, para. 30
- Paragraph text
- Female migrant workers engaged in domestic services are one of the most vulnerable groups of migrant workers. There appears to be a widespread pattern of physical, sexual and psychological abuses of migrant domestic workers, and they are also often exposed to health and safety threats without being provided with adequate information about risks and precautions. Further, their vulnerability is heightened by the lack of domestic legal mechanisms recognizing or protecting their rights. Consequently, they are often excluded from health insurance and other important social and labour protections. Given the lack of health care, they tend to seek care late.

Paragraph
Enjoyment of the rights to health and adequate housing by migrants 2010, para. 54
- Paragraph text
- In some occupations, such as domestic work, women migrant workers may be provided with housing by their employers or legally required to live with them as part of the conditions for their visa sponsorships. However, numerous reports indicate that the housing conditions of domestic workers are often grossly inadequate, without running water or adequate sanitary facilities. Such workers may also have no privacy and may be forced to sleep on the kitchen or bathroom floor, which degrades the workers' dignity and leads to psychological abuse. Even in such situations, migrant women would be reluctant to complain about the housing conditions for the fear of the loss of employment and forced evictions, thereby perpetuating the violations of their right to adequate housing.

Paragraph
Enjoyment of the rights to health and adequate housing by migrants 2010, para. 55
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur also recalls the linkage between violence against women and the right to adequate housing. Many migrant women are vulnerable to various forms of violence, including domestic violence, sexual abuse and harassment, physical violence and forced evictions. Such violence is a serious concern for migrant domestic workers, whose options are effectively reduced to either enduring violence or reporting it to the authorities, thereby risking homelessness and eventual loss of employment and deportation. Further, migrant women at risk of homelessness are made even more vulnerable to further violence, such as sexual exploitation and trafficking.

Paragraph
Enjoyment of the rights to health and adequate housing by migrants 2010, para. 80
- Paragraph text
- In view of the fact that migratory processes and living conditions of migrants in host States may have negative effects on their mental health, States should ensure that migrants' access to health care includes mental health care. In this regard, States should pay particular attention to improving the mental well-being of migrants by creating services that are integrated and appropriate to their needs. Further studies into the mental health needs of migrants, which recognize the crucial interrelationship between social circumstances and mental health and help provide an insight into relevant mental health care and assistance, in particular to migrant women, migrant children and migrants in detention, are required.

Irregular migration and criminalization of migrants, protection of children in the migration process and the right to housing and health of migrants 2011, para. 45
- Paragraph text
- Women faced significant barriers in accessing adequate housing due to discrimination and migrant women were subject to multiple forms of discrimination, given their marginalized status in societies. Migrant children were also more likely than other children to live in overcrowded housing, which had a negative impact on their development. The concern was heightened with respect to irregular migrant children, whose right to adequate housing was dictated by the conditions of social exclusion that their families to which were subjected. The lack of access to adequate housing for irregular migrant parents meant that their children were deprived of housing as well.

Detention of migrants in an irregular situation 2012, para. 36
- Paragraph text
- Women migrants who are detained are vulnerable to sexual violence, which may be committed by male detainees or guards. They should therefore be separated from men and be guarded by female warders. Pregnant women who are detained have particular needs. Article 12, paragraph 2, of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and the Committee's general recommendation No. 26 (2008) on women migrant workers require States parties to ensure to women appropriate services in connection with pregnancy, confinement and the post-natal period. The UNHCR Revised Guidelines on Applicable Criteria and Standards relating to the Detention of Asylum-Seekers (hereinafter, the UNHCR guidelines) affirm that as a general rule, the detention of pregnant women in their final months and nursing mothers should be avoided.

- [The Special Rapporteur calls on States to consider progressively abolishing the administrative detention of migrants. In the meantime, Governments should take measures to ensure respect for the human rights of migrants in the context of detention, including by:] Ensuring that legislation prevents trafficked persons from being prosecuted, detained or punished for illegal entry or residence in the country or for the activities they are involved in as a consequence of their situation as trafficked persons. In this respect, the Special Rapporteur invites States that have not yet done so to consider ratifying the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime;

Detention of migrants in an irregular situation 2012, para. 73
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur would like to remind Governments that alternatives to detention should not become alternatives to unconditional release, whenever such release is a possibility. Governments should put in place safeguards to ensure that those eligible for release without conditions are not diverted into alternative measures. Alternatives to detention should have a human rights-based approach, be established by law, be non-discriminatory and be subject to judicial review and independent monitoring and evaluation. In designing alternatives to detention, Governments should pay attention to the specific situation of particular groups of migrants, such as children, pregnant women and persons with disabilities, and use the least intrusive measure possible.

Regional study: management of the European Union external border and the impact on the human rights of migrants 2013, para. 20
- Paragraph text
- However, the Special Rapporteur notes that this focus on migrants who undertake irregular border crossings has significant relevance, as this is where the most egregious human rights abuses appear to take place. Of the utmost concern are the deaths of irregular migrants attempting to cross into the European Union. Other concerns are the mistreatment of migrants at the border, including practices which infringe their liberty and security, and detention regimes on both sides of the border that fail to adequately respect minimum human rights standards. Furthermore, even before crossing the border to the European Union, whether by sea or by land, migrants are often exposed to serious risks of abuse and exploitation en route, including by smugglers. This is particularly true for women and girls who wait in transit countries and who may be exposed to sexually based violence.

Human rights of migrants in the post-2015 development agenda 2014, para. 28
- Paragraph text
- Development targets that pay no attention to which groups are being left behind can be met without having any real impact on ensuring a more equal and just world. The focus should not be on simply reducing the cost and increasing the flow of remittances, but rather on the human cost of migration. In many countries, the most marginalized and exploited migrants are those who are in an irregular situation, have a precarious labour contract, are low-skilled, are children or adolescents, are women, in particular in domestic work, or are working in the construction, hospitality, extraction, fishing and agricultural sectors. Such migrants experience multiple forms of discrimination, on the basis of nationality, legal status, sector of work, sex, age and ethnic, linguistic or religious identity.

Paragraph
Labour exploitation of migrants 2014, para. 53
- Paragraph text
- Migrant women risk being the victims of multiple discrimination, both as women and as migrants. Migrant women tend to be employed in the shadow economy and in less skilled work than men, even though some are better qualified. They are generally more dependent on their employers, which puts them at greater risk of abuse and exploitation. Some countries set a minimum age for women to migrate, or ban low-skilled women from migrating, inter alia for domestic work. While this may be done with the intention of protecting women from abuse, this practice is not only discriminatory, it often leads women to resort to irregular migration, rendering them more vulnerable to abuse, which includes precarious working conditions, low pay and exposure to violence and forced labour. The Special Rapporteur has received information concerning requirements in some countries that women must obtain consent from their husband or legal guardian to migrate, and that they must indicate who will take care of their children while they are abroad. Such requirements do not seem to be in place for men.

In the Declaration adopted by the General Assembly during the High-level Dialogue on International Migration and Development in October 2013, States agreed to (a) promote and protect effectively the human rights and fundamental freedoms of all migrants, regardless of their migration status; (b) protect women migrant workers in all sectors, including those involved in domestic work; (c) respect and promote international labour standards and the rights of migrants in their workplaces; and (d) cooperate on labour mobility programmes.

- The Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, supplementing the United Nations Convention Against Transnational Organized Crime, requires States parties to prevent and criminalize trafficking, and to protect victims. The definition of trafficking includes the recruitment, transportation or receipt of persons by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, fraud or deception, to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation, including forced labour, slavery or servitude.

Paragraph
Labour exploitation of migrants 2014, para. 50
- Paragraph text
- Migrant domestic workers, the majority of whom are women and girls, are extremely vulnerable to violence and abuse. ILO Convention 189 on decent work for domestic workers clearly recognizes domestic work as work. However, in many countries, domestic workers are not recognized as "workers", and thus not protected by labour law. As a consequence, they have no labour rights, no annual leave, no established working hours and no minimum salary. They are sometimes also excluded from rights relating to social security laws. Some countries rely on domestic work to be regulated by the work contract only, rather than by law. However, it is difficult for migrant domestic workers to claim their rights when their work is frequently considered informal, and not regulated by law. If the employer has diplomatic immunity, this renders the domestic worker even more vulnerable, due to the possible scope of the employer's immunity from criminal prosecution and civil claims.

Recruitment practices and the human rights of migrants 2015, para. 19
- Paragraph text
- As discussed below, economic exploitation of migrants can include charging large fees for recruitment services, which can force migrants into situations of effective debt bondage and forced labour; changing the terms of employment agreed in countries of origin; and facilitating employment in exploitative labour conditions. Recruitment is the first stage of the migration process. The already precarious situation of the migrant is aggravated by unethical recruitment practices of unscrupulous recruiters who focus on profit maximization at any cost. This contributes to millions of individuals being highly vulnerable to other multiple and severe abuses of their rights, including: trafficking; violence, including sexual violence, particularly directed towards women; restrictions of freedom of movement; racism and xenophobia; and denial of the right to remedy for violations.

Recruitment practices and the human rights of migrants 2015, para. 21
- Paragraph text
- Responsible recruitment agencies charge fees for their services not to the workers but to the employer, in a business-to-business transaction. Migrants often seek work abroad because of their desire to overcome poverty and a lack of decent work opportunities in countries of origin. The decision to migrate can often be driven by extremely difficult economic circumstances and/or a shock, such as loss of land and/or employment, debt reaching unsustainable levels, family breakdown, the loss of a spouse, and/or family illness. Research undertaken by the ILO suggests that women sometimes have a less favourable socio-economic status and discrimination in countries of origin, meaning they therefore enter the migration process in the most precarious positions.

Developing the Global Compact on Migration 2016, para. 8
- Paragraph text
- There are approximately 244 million migrants worldwide today - an increase of 41 per cent (71 million) since 2000. Most migrants originate from middle-income countries, with 59 per cent settling in developed regions, where they make up some 11 per cent of the population. Between 2000 and 2015, Asia received 1.7 million migrants per year, more than any other geographical region in the world, and is on track to overtake Europe as the area hosting the largest number of migrants in the near future. Women make up 48 per cent of all international migrants. In Europe and North America, the majority of migrants are female, while in Africa and Western Asia, the majority of migrants are male. Approximately 15 per cent of all international migrants are younger than 19 years of age.

Developing the Global Compact on Migration 2016, para. 59
- Paragraph text
- Although some migrants, such as children, older persons, women travelling alone and migrants with disabilities, are vulnerable, the majority are not intrinsically vulnerable. On the contrary, they are most often incredibly resilient and courageous, making life-altering decisions on a regular basis. However, through policy and practice decisions that result in a lack of effective access to justice, States may create precarious conditions of legal status or regulatory frameworks that allow many to abuse and exploit migrants with impunity. For example, there are cases in which temporary migrant worker schemes do not provide for adequate oversight mechanisms; countries that rarely enforce the prohibition of recruitment fees, leading to situations of debt bondage, and rarely streamline their labour recruitment industry to ensure it effectively protects the rights of migrants; and labour inspection mechanisms that collaborate with immigration enforcement to expel undocumented migrants rather than try to enforce labour standards against the exploitative employers of such migrants.

Enjoyment of the rights to health and adequate housing by migrants 2010, para. 53

Labour market opportunities for women from developing countries are often skewed towards care activities, domestic work and the informal sector, which often provide very low wages and labour protections. Clearly, the resultant low socio-economic status of migrant women adversely affects their access to housing.
