What is it about?
This article discusses the challenges faced by Moroccan women working on Spanish farms during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study reveals how Spain's farming policies create unstable job conditions for these women, prioritizing economic gains over their welfare. It focuses on their hiring, work, and living situations, and uses various social theories to show how the pandemic worsened existing inequalities, affecting their freedom to move and work. The research calls for major changes in how European farm labor is managed, advocating for more fairness and respect for migrant workers. It emphasizes the need to shift our approach in studying migration, by recognizing and valuing the real-life experiences of these often overlooked individuals. This change is crucial for removing unfair practices and improving how we understand the lives of migrants.
