'This guide is an attempt to analyse some of the most pressing gender issues in contemporary labour migration. It seeks to highlight the rationale for including gender-sensitive measures and ways to implement them nto the migration policies of countries of origin and destination, as well as in bi- and multilateral agreements. Through presenting good practices and providing tools on how to shape migration processes, the Guide aims to assist and encourage OSCE participating States and Partners for Co-operation to enforce current legislation as well as develop and adopt policies and programmes for female migrant workers that are more gendersensitive. In this way, it should encourage migration policies to be formed in a more gender-just way. The Guide is a result of efforts to facilitate the incorporation of gender into labour migration policies.
