Abstract
Between 150 and 200 million migrant workers are currently living and working around the globe. Most often, employment and work of migrant workers is accompanied by lack of stability and security of employment, as well as administrative, but also linguistic and cultural barriers, and finally numerous stereotypes and prejudices. On the other hand, working in agriculture also involves facing a series of specific challenges that are especially emphasized when it comes to migrants as seasonal workers in agriculture. An additional layer of complexity is introduced by once we take into account the gender perspective, considering the emphasized feminization of migration, as well as the feminization of agriculture. Of particular importance in the context of overcoming at least some of the mentioned challenges related to seasonal work of migrant women in agriculture in the Western Balkans is the Open Balkan initiative, which aims, among other, to achieve the free movement of workers and equal access to the labour market in member states.
