dc.description.abstractExecutive Summary In this report, we offer an urgent examination of the deaths of female Nepali migrant domestic workers abroad and the consequences for their families. Drawing on 17 cases across multiple districts in Nepal, we foreground the voices of bereaved family members and argue that Nepal’s migration industry systemically fails its most vulnerable citizens – women from Dalit, janajati, and low-income backgrounds. At the heart of this pilot feminist research is an important question: What happens when the state that benefits from migrant women’s labour disowns them in death?en_US
