- Summary
- Ahead of Women’s Rights Day, we want to call attention to invisible women, especially migrant and displaced women, who keep our societies running, often in the hardest and least protected jobs.
They clean hotel rooms, care for children and older people, prepare food, work in agriculture, , care sector, hospitality, domestic work, and other sectors that are essential to Europe’s economy and daily life. Yet too often, they face precarity, discrimination, unsafe working conditions, and heightened risks of exploitation and violence, including HumanTrafficking.
Women’s rights must include the women who are most easily overlooked, and the systems that profit from their invisibility must be held accountable.
In the context of our RESILIA project, we, together with our partners, are releasing a statement ahead of 8 March to underline what protection must look like in practice: safety, rights at work, accessible and trauma-informed support, and pathways to justice.
