Gender and Migration
Understood as a social construction of femininity and masculinity and inequalities consequent upon these constructions, gender fundamentally influences migration and its impacts on societies and individuals. It shapes migration processes at different levels: who migrates, why, where, for how long and with what consequences? Gender ideologies also (often implicitly) form migration policies and institutions which try to control migration flows.
This thematic section aims at discussing gender and migration at different levels of analysis and asks how gender differentiates migrants? experiences, formation of migrant women?s and men?s identities and how it permeates migration practices, policies and institutions.
