Migrants make up the majority of the labor force in numerous sectors of both the regional economy as well as the national economies of industrialized countries. Agriculture and food production employ a third of the world's working people - more than any other industry - and women migrants make up an increasingly large proportion of agricultural laborers. Grassroots worker collectives and civil society organizations have been demanding respect for these women's rights, and a key component of this advocacy work is exchanging best practices and sharing them with hiring companies and government authorities.
