This is followed by Malaysia where 73 cases of wage theft were reported by female migrant workers. Malaysia is also the only destination country where female migrants’ cases were reported more than male migrants - this is attributed to stronger civil society presence in Malaysia as compared to the GCC region.  UAE, Kuwait and Qatar registered respectively 12, 9 and 6 cases of wage theft faced by female migrant workers. Other countries of destination where female migrants faced wage theft included Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, China, Philippines and Singapore.  Among countries of origin, Indonesia filed the highest number of cases with respect to female migrant workers at 86.  Philippines and Bangladesh filed 59 and 51 cases respectively. Philippines was the only origin country that has registered more female cases than male (3 cases). India and Nepal have registered 3 and 2 cases respectively.  The high proportion of domestic workers among female cases in countries (except Malaysia) demonstrated the continuing vulnerability and precarity of women involved in care work. For instance, 71 out of 80 cases of females in KSA, 8 out of 12 cases in UAE and 8 out of 9 cases in Kuwait were of domestic workers. All female cases from Jordan, Lebanon, Hong Kong and Iraq (between 1-4 cases) as well were of domestic workers. 12 400
