Migration and Gender

This course considers the gender dimensions of rural migration. As men and women experience migration differently, to reduce vulnerability and empower both rural women migrants and women who stay behind, it is essential to integrate gender into policies and programmes on migration and rural development. This course explains gender concepts and available data about women migrants; the gender dimensions of migration at different phases of the migration cycle; and how vulnerability, discrimination and gender roles affect women both as challenges and opportunities.
