The article "Undocumented Migrant Women: Gender-based violence in Europe’s fight against irregular migration", written by Eve Geddie (Acting Director of PICUM - Platform for International Cooperation on Undocumented Migrantshas) has been recently published in the magazine Choices (IPPF). Described as “the most pervasive yet least recognised human rights abuse in the world”, violence against women is a manifestation of gender-based inequality and discrimination. 

 In recent weeks, developments have signalled great momentum to address violence against women in conflict situations1, yet the systematic abuse facing undocumented women caught up in Europe’s ‘fight against irregular migration’ remains hidden in the eyes of policy makers.
