Short Summary |
Migrants, particularly women, suffer discrimination,
violence and exploitation which makes their lives difficult, and thwarts
the positive development effects of migration. This kit explores their
experiences through real-life stories of migrant workers, facts about
women's migration for work in Asia, accounts of gendered violations
and impacts throughout the migration cycle, and the contributions
and capacity of women migrants. The links and differences between
trafficking, smuggling and migration are also explored. The kit then
moves on to provide practical leads on what can be done: strategic
interventions, examples of good practice and tools and references
for gender- and rights-based programming. |
