Short Summary |
The learning objectives for this section of The
Essentials of Migration Management are to enable people to: identify
areas where gender is a significant factor in formulating migration
policy options; understand the importance of gender-related and gender-specific
issues; and develop the ability to assess the impact of gender on
migration policy options in any given setting. At the start, three
guiding questions are defined for the readers: 1) Are gender differences
taken into account in the development of migration policies in your
setting, or is it assumed that migration is gender-neutral? 2) To
what extent do migration policies and programmes in your setting need
to be more reflective of the relations between women and men? 3) Do
migration management policies and programmes in your setting recognise
the different forms that gender relations can take? In order to fulfil
the learning objectives and assist readers to work through the guiding
questions, the guide identifies gender-related issues and concepts
that are useful for migration policy development, discusses the legal
basis for gender-related initiatives and finally addresses how migration
policy may be designed to address gender issues.
