This chapter investigates Bilateral Labour Agreements (BLAs) as instruments for managing gendered migration, particularly from Sri Lanka to the Middle East and Gulf regions. It emphasises the growing popularity of BLAs in response to global migration governance initiatives, highlighting their role in facilitating ‘orderly and regular pathways’ for migration. The text delves into the nuanced impact of BLAs on gender, revealing that while they regulate significant female migration in care and domestic work sectors, they often perpetuate gendered occupations and offer limited protections for migrant rights. Utilising a gender analysis framework, the study critically assesses the legal and institutional mechanisms of BLAs, underpinned by the Sri Lankan experience. It reveals that despite some improvements in migrant experiences, BLAs remain largely gender-blind, with significant gaps in ensuring the rights and welfare of female migrants. The chapter calls for a reevaluation of BLAs to incorporate gender-sensitive measures, ensuring equitable and fair treatment of migrant workers in the broader geopolitical and socioeconomic context.
