?:abstract
  • "In an international division of reproductive labour, responsibilities over domestic and care work in many high and middle income countries have increasingly been shifted towards an exploitable migrant work force. Restrictive migration regimes, gender discriminations, and flexible labour markets allow for extreme exploitation and human rights abuses rendering working conditions at times akin to forms of unfree labour. In Lebanon, domestic workers from diverse Asian and African countries experience the consequences of these global trends, while attempts to improve their situation face obstacles constituted by the complex and far-reaching structures of exploitation. However, the agency of migrants and the civil society has recently led to an increase of initiatives aimed at mobilizing and empowering workers, most notably a union for domestic workers established in January 2015. In view of these developments, the article will present the structural challenges migrant domestic workers face on global and national levels and the internal divisions that constrain collective organisation and resistance. Particular attention will be paid to inequalities in the international division of reproductive labour and to the social relations and interests which perpetuate the continuous exploitation of migrant workers making a profound change of conditions without substantial collective and transnational mobilisation unlikely."
