Este estudio examina las experiencias de las trabajadoras migrantes desde la perspectiva de la justicia social, analizando las barreras sistémicas que dificultan su inclusión y su trato equitativo en los mercados laborales globales. Estas trabajadoras están desproporcionadamente representadas en sectores de empleo de bajos salarios, precarios e informales, donde enfrentan desafíos interseccionales como la discriminación de género, la explotación económica, la desigualdad racial y el acceso limitado a los derechos laborales. Estas injusticias estructurales no solo marginan a las trabajadoras migrantes, sino que también perpetúan ciclos de exclusión y desigualdad. Adoptando un enfoque interdisciplinario e interseccional, este artículo enfatizó la necesidad de ampliar los marcos de justicia social más allá de la redistribución económica para incluir el reconocimiento cultural y la inclusión política. Sostiene que abordar estas desigualdades multidimensionales requiere intervenciones políticas específicas y sistemas laborales inclusivos que reflejen las realidades vividas por las mujeres migrantes. Al integrar perspectivas globales y locales, el estudio destacó la importancia de fomentar oportunidades equitativas y fortalecer las protecciones para las trabajadoras migrantes, al tiempo que aborda las jerarquías sociales más amplias que refuerzan la exclusión. En última instancia, esta investigación contribuyó al discurso en curso sobre migración y justicia social al ofrecer perspectivas prácticas sobre las reformas estructurales necesarias para empoderar a las trabajadoras migrantes y reducir las desigualdades globales. Los hallazgos abogan por un enfoque integral que priorice los derechos humanos, promueva la equidad y la dignidad, y desmantele las injusticias sistémicas que continúan poniendo a este grupo en riesgo de exclusión.
