Contrary to the current anti-immigration policies in the world, there are growing incentives for the international movement of women workers from the peripheral regions to the central regions, in order to meet the assistance demands arising from the "care crisis". Given this context, the present thesis aims to understand how social relations of sex, class and "race" structure the supply of reproductive labor, and how the capitalist, with a colonial, racist and patriarchal structure, is organized to provide this growing need The purpose is to examine the role of states and supra-state entities in this process, and how national and international laws and policies are used. The hypothesis is proposed that, from the development of the category of migrant reproductive labor, it will be possible to glimpse a movement of distribution of this work force that benefits from the relations of sex, class and "race". Thus, the research will have a qualitative character, will be carried out at an explanatory level, and will employ the method of dialectical approach, the methods of historical and monographic procedure, and bibliographic and documentary research techniques. This will support two research strategies: the case study of the judicial process involving Filipino migrant workers in São Paulo, victims of crimes of trafficking in persons and work similar to that of slave labor; and the categorization of five international policies developed within the framework of the International Labor Organization (ILO), as well as the analysis of Brazilian and Filipino legal and policies and legal regulations. As a result, it is proposed, first, that migrant reproductive labor has been constituted as a mixture of exploitation/appropriation of women's labor, alienated under capital and marginalized as mere "reproducer of the labor force", and extracted as "recourse" to the historically colonized regions of the periphery of capitalism. And second, from the analysis of legislation and policies, it is noted that a kind of "international policy to combat the crisis of care" constrains the migrant reproductive labor force to become available. Finally, the thesis is that the organization of legal instruments carried out by supra-state entities and states establishes a social control of the workforce of impoverished and racialized women from peripheral regions of world capitalism, as a strategy to contain the "crisis of care".
