- Virtual discussion 2 results : "The nature of care work and the globalization of care ", Laura Olsen
The formation of global care chains represents one of the most paradigmatic phenomena of the current process of the feminization of migration occurring within the context of globalization and the transformation of the social welfare state, a phenomenon that is reflective of the realities of the feminization of migration in the context of globalization and the need to transform social welfare systems. Studying global care chains therefore provides a valuable position from which to examine the relationship between migration and development of analysis from where the relationship between migration and development can be debated. With the aim of motivating the debate on that topic, between the 7-18 of September 2009 UN-INSTRAW’s Gender and Migration virtual community hosted the discussion ‘Global Care Chains: Assessing the situation and policy challenges’ which resulted in the information presented in this paper.

Summary of the III Virtual Discussion (31 May - 25 June 2010) “Migration, Remittances and Gender-Responsive Local Development”, Romina Iebra
Leading theme: Looking for better results in co-development programs: how to assess the strategies to incorporate a gender perspective efficiently.
- What should be considered a basic component of a gender-sensitive migration and development project? How can we evaluate the processes and results of those projects using a gender perspective? Do you think the effectiveness of migration-related projects is sufficiently measured?
- In your opinion, do you believe that micro-enterprise programs efficiently consider women’s needs and circumstances? What kind of results are you aware of from this type of project? How can they be improved upon? What do you think about programs that support micro-enterprise for returning migrants? What are the conditions needed to ensure that these projects promote gender equity?
- What should be the technical role of NGO staff or development co-operation personnel in designing and carrying out migration and development projects that promote gender equity and women’s empowerment? How might this be done?

- Results of the Second Virtual discussion: “Creating Gender Sensitive Migration Policy”, by Laura Olsen
In November 2008 UN-INSTRAW hosted the Virtual Discussion “Creating Gender Sensitive Migration Policy” to create a space for experts to share their knowledge and experiences. The discussion was to provide an opportunity for those who work in the field of gender, migration and development to learn what challenges their counterparts in other parts of the world face, what measures have been taken to address those challenges and how successful those measures have been. More than 220 participants from over 40 countries from every region in the world took part.
This paper is a synopsis of the discussion. Part One summarizes what participants identified as the major concerns in the field. It is divided into a) general challenges and b) more specific concerns. Part Two identifies what is needed to address those concerns. Like the first section it is divided into a) general considerations and b) specific steps to take. Relevant ideas from UN-INSTRAW’s first Virtual Discussion about migration and gender held in September 2008 were included where appropriate.
