Gender issues can make
certain migrant workers more
vulnerable. Women are
unlikely to have their gender
taken into account for risk
assessment purposes when
work is allocated.
This may affect the
work and may lead to
accidents or workers
falling ill 3 1 3 1
Gender has to be considered while risk assessment
and allocating work to migrant men and women
workers
Women migrant workers are
often reluctant to admit that
they have become pregnant
for fear of losing wages due to
being forced to stop work
early.
Women workers are
pregnant may be
asked to do hard jobs
and excess overtime
resulting in fatigue and
abortion.
3 1 3 1
Employers should encourage women workers to be
open to admit if they are pregnant and then allot menial
work to them and give them overtime if they wish to
earn a decent living.
