This chapter examines the gendered dimensions of migration-related security challenges in South and Southeast Asia through the lens of human security. Migrant workers, particularly women, face a range of insecurities tied to migration, such as limited legal protections, restricted access to healthcare and social services, economic exploitation, exposure to violence, and significant barriers to social integration (International Labour Organization 2017a). This study extends its analysis to cultural aspects and societal norms that shape migration experiences, where deep-rooted gender norms often confine women to traditional roles, hindering their autonomy and reinforcing vulnerabilities during the migration process (UN Women 2019). Drawing on a comprehensive review of literature, including scholarly articles, policy reports, and regional studies, this chapter highlights how social stigma around women working or migrating independently exacerbates their insecurity, restricts support networks, and heightens their risk of exploitation (Deshingkar & Akter, 2009). Gender norms in many South and Southeast Asian communities can lead to discrimination and isolation, limiting women’s empowerment and impeding their integration into host societies (Siddiqui, 2019). This chapter calls for policy and institutional responses that address the intersection of migration security, gender norms, and cultural dynamics. By advocating for culturally sensitive and gender-inclusive frameworks, the study emphasizes the importance of creating a supportive environment that enables migrant women to overcome these challenges, contributing to their empowerment and fostering economic development across the region.
