This paper examines the reality of how migrant women's contribution to the survival of their family and community has not been recognized. The dominant culture has not valued domestic labour and communal work because it does not fall under the category of "economic development". Thus, women migrants work in the home and in the community help their families survive, but because of the sexist and classist lens through which elites have seen their own history, they are ignored by the "official" history of the country they live in. Moreover, they are already dealing with a disadvantage, since the society itself is misogynist and sexist. 11 pgs. 13 f/c. 13b.
