Women’s Day: Undocumented migrant women aspire to live without fear

A recent report by Radio-Canada International, highlights the plight of undocumented female migrant workers in Canada and the importance of regularization for their well-being.

The report, published on International Women’s Day, shines a light on the struggles faced by female migrant workers who lack legal status in Canada. These women often endure exploitation, abuse, and discrimination, both in the workplace and in their everyday lives. The lack of legal status prevents them from accessing essential services and seeking recourse for the injustices they face.

The stories shared in the report serve as a stark reminder that the time for change is now. The Immigrant Workers Centre calls for the immediate regularization of all undocumented migrant workers, with a particular focus on supporting vulnerable female workers. Regularization would not only provide these women with legal status but also ensure their access to basic rights and protections.
