{"product_id":"lifelines-von-sandra-ten-zijthoff","title":"Lifelines","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis study examines the social networks and the roles these play in  the lives of Filipina migrant domestic workers (MDWs) in Lebanon. In  spite of often harsh injustice and exclusion from Lebanese labor  laws, these women manage to overcome unanticipated difficulties by  relying on their available social networks. The networks of influence  embody both formal and informal structures at a local and  transnational level. By tapping into these networks and with the  accumulation of social capital through network ties, Filipina MDWs  are able to access crucial resources, material and immaterial in  nature, to overcome periods of difficulty during their experience in  the host country. While formal structures, such as local NGOs and  the Philippines embassy, are able to provide official services, Filipina  women are found to rely predominantly on their informal ties that  offer immediate, though potentially ¿illegal¿, alternatives. These ties,  thus, play a more significant role in the lives of Filipina MDWs and  may continue to function as such until structural changes are made  to support the basic human rights and the freedom of these, and  other, MDWs in Lebanon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838346229\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Networks of Filipina Domestic Workers in Beirut, Lebanon\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838346229","offer_id":39498893295709,"sku":"9783838346229","price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/3b0ee2cd-ec41-4449-b53c-a687a91b12e0.jpg?v=1776495507","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/lifelines-von-sandra-ten-zijthoff","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
