在2010年来自孟加拉国的所有临时非技术移徙工人中，妇女所占比例不到3%。这一极低的妇女比例是移徙女工遇到的众多社会文化、宗教和政治障碍造成的。根据2009年在孟加拉国收集的23个深度访谈，在海湾地区工作的前移民家庭佣工，文章认为，妇女积极谈判这些障碍之前出国和回国。文章从社会性别和家庭关系的微观角度说明，根据妇女的家庭状况和家庭关系，她们在临时劳工移徙的出发前和返回阶段或多或少有遭受耻辱的风险。这篇文章建立在一个坚实的研究机构，探讨如何国际劳动力迁移挑战全球和地方父权制的性别秩序。调查结果表明，妇女的国际移徙可能会扰乱父权制的性别秩序，但也可能有助于妇女回国后进一步从属。
Of all temporary unskilled migrant workers who originated from Bangladesh in 2010, women accounted for less than 3%. This extremely low proportion of women results from the numerous sociocultural, religious and political barriers women labour migrants encounter. Based on 23 in-depth interviews collected in 2009 in Bangladesh with former migrant domestic workers who worked in the Gulf region, the article argues that women actively negotiate these barriers prior to going abroad and upon return. Using a micro-sociological perspective of gender and family relations, the article shows that, depending on women’s family situation and relationships, they were more or less at risk of suffering stigma in the pre-departure and return stages of temporary labour migration. The article builds on a solid body of research that examines how international labour migration challenges the global and local patriarchal gender order. The findings show how international migration of women may unsettle the patriarchal gender order, but can also serve to further subordinate women after they return home.
