Abstract
Female, Muslim migrants globally face unique experiences because of their intersectional identities in gender and religious identity. This intersectionality is largely unstudied in migration literature, which still lags other fields of studies in representation of women. The study employs a case study in Pittsburgh consisting of qualitative interviews with different migrants in the city to determine the effects of identity on employment experiences in the city. These findings are discussed in tandem with research conducted in France and Germany to examine how these experiences compare globally. The study finds that religious discrimination is highly prevalent and impacts participants who wear the hijab most. The study suggests the improvement of social resources to the community to diversify fields of employment occupied by the group and more childcare services accessibility.
