This article discusses the human rights challenges faced by women migrants in Botswana, particularly those from Zimbabwe who are considered ‘irregular’. It finds that women migrants often face gendered obstacles in accessing healthcare and decent employment opportunities, and are vulnerable to gender-based violence, exploitation, and discrimination in the workplace. It argues that the right to dignity of Zimbabwean migrant women must be upheld and protected by ensuring access to basic human needs and creating an environment free from fear and abuse. It proposes the that ‘Migration with Dignity Framework’ provides practical solutions to ease the transition for women migrants into new surroundings, enhance their well-being in Botswana and uphold their right to dignity
