Executive Summary. Crossing Borders II

Executive Summary. Crossing Borders II. Migration and development from a gender perspective, Amaia Pérez Orozco, Denise Paiewonsky, Mar García Domínguez, Santo Domingo, 2008.
 

The document Crossing Borders II: Migration and Development from a Gender Perspective is the result of a process of theoretical and conceptual reflection carried out at UN-INSTRAW. Following the initial publication of Crossing Borders: Gender, Remittances and Development (UN-INSTRAW, 2005), in which the linkages between gender, migration and development were explored from the perspective of the sending, receipt and utilization of remittances, several case studies have been conducted by UN-INSTRAW in various contexts. The evidence documented through these case studies has allowed us to revisit our initial analytical framework from a new base of understanding and today present a revised framework that looks more broadly at the linkages between migration and development from a gender perspective, taking into account but also moving beyond the question ofremittances. 
 
Cruzando Fronteras II. Migración y desarrollo desde una perspectiva de género.

Cruzando Fronteras II. Migración y desarrollo desde una perspectiva de género, Amaia Pérez Orozco, Denise Paiewonsky, Mar García Domínguez, Santo Domingo, 2008.

El texto Cruzando fronteras II, Migración y Desarrollo desde una perspectiva de género es el resultado de una reflexión teórica y conceptual realizada desde UN-INSTRAW. Tras una primera publicación en la cual se exploraba el nexo de la migración y el desarrollo, teniendo en cuenta las remesas como uno de los fenómenos relevantes dentro de la migración internacional contemporánea, se han ido desarrollando diversos estudios de caso publicados en la serie “Género y Remesas”. La conjunción del marco teórico y la base empírica de los estudios nos permiten hoy presentar un nuevo documento en el que se ahondan y exploran temáticas emergentes relacionadas, con miras a contribuir, desde una perspectiva de género, al debate sobre los vínculos entre migración y desarrollo, debate muy centrado hasta el momento en el papel de las remesas.

Crossing Borders: Gender, Remittances and Development

Crossing Borders: Gender, Remittances and Development, Carlota Ramírez, Mar García Domínguez, Julia Míguez Morais, Santo Domingo, 2005


Women are an increasing part of migratory movements. As active participants in these movements, they contribute to the maintenance of their households and to the development of their communities of origin through the sending of remittances. However, gender inequalities differentiate the migratory experience for men and women. Despite the growing number of women migrants and the importance of remittances for the material wellbeing of many families in developing countries, very few studies analyze the relationship between gender and remittances. This INSTRAW working paper establishes the background and theoretical framework for INSTRAW's work on the gender dimensions of remittances.
