REMITTANCES in the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
En el 4to. Encuentro sobre Remesas y Desarrollo, organizado por “Tú,
Mujer” en Santo Domingo el 4-5 Junio 2009, organismos gubernamentales,
internacionales y de la sociedad civil se encontraron para discutir el
desafío de transformar la comprensión del fenómeno migratorio en
políticas públicas vinculantes entre las remesas, el desarrollo social,
la equidad y los derechos humanos. Uno de los temas del evento,
co-auspiciado por UN-INSTRAW, fue el efecto de la crisis financiera en
las remesas.
Gender, remittances and development: The case of women migrants from Vicente Noble, Dominican Republic
Mar García Domínguez, Santo Domingo, 2006
The case of Dominican migration to Spain was chosen as an initial study because it is uniquely appropriate for an analysis of the links between migration, remittances and gender: it is a predominantly female migratory flow from rural areas, with women migrating as the main economic providers for their households. The integration of gender perspectives in the analysis of migratory processes, remittances and development contributes to making development and migration policies and programmes more effective and sustainable.
