WOMEN MIGRANT WORKERS





When we talk about migrations is really important know what its mean: the migration is the movement from one place to another in terms of countries and could be forced or voluntary, migrations depends on the social, economic and politic situation of the home country and the better situation of the host one.


People use to do this for many reason: improve quality of life, give better opportunities to them and their families, get a job, avoid poverty, etc. But sometimes they leave everything, thinking that in other country they going to have everything to live in a good way , but sometimes things doesn`t work and problems started.


A problem taht the world is facing now is that migrants, more of them women are often victims of sexual and physical abuse, exploitation, discrminations and others things. They are not having enough guaranties to protect their human rights.


Women gender are more vulnerable because although in this century are more inequalities for both genders, there are still countries where there is not gender equality, where women are denied access to certain jobs.


The IOM is an intergovernmental organization established in 1951, is committed to the principle that humane and orderly migratiosn benefits migrants and society; Also id working to get better laws that protect women from abuses, no matter if they are illegally in that country.

The IOM focuses in some areas to protect the women:


  • Promotes legal and safe migration for women.

  • promotes policies that regulated the recruitment and deployment of women migrant workers.

  • Protection of women migrant workers human rights

  • counter-trafficking activities including capacity-building and direct assistance to victims.

  • promotion gender-sensitive international migration policies.

Even today, women have access to some jobd that previously were not allowed access to the, is a visible difference between men and women.
