This article discusses the human rights challenges faced by women migrants in Botswana, particularly those from Zimbabwe who are considered ‘irregular’. It finds that women migrants often face gendered obstacles in accessing healthcare and decent employment opportunities, and are vulnerable to gender-based violence, exploitation, and discrimination in the workplace.
