Feminist Perspectives on Migration and Inequality
Research Guide
What is Feminist Perspectives on Migration and Inequality?
Feminist Perspectives on Migration and Inequality examines gendered power structures, discrimination, and family dynamics in women's transnational migration experiences.
This subtopic analyzes how migration exacerbates gender inequalities, violence against women, and care responsibilities (Valencia Londoño et al., 2021, 36 citations; Ciurlo, 2015, 14 citations). Key studies focus on Latin American cases, including Colombian transmigrants in Italy and Venezuelan migrants in Peru (Blouin and Zamora Gómez, 2022, 7 citations). Over 10 papers from provided lists address these intersections since 2000.
Why It Matters
Feminist perspectives reveal how migration amplifies violence against women during crises like COVID-19, informing policies for Latin American migrant protections (Valencia Londoño et al., 2021). They highlight shifts in gender roles among transmigrant families, aiding integration programs in host countries like Italy and Peru (Ciurlo, 2015; Blouin and Zamora Gómez, 2022). These insights address care burdens on indigenous and migrant women, shaping urban policies like Bogotá's care system (Gómez Navarro et al., 2021; Fernández-Gallego, 2023).
Key Research Challenges
Measuring Gendered Xenophobia
Quantifying institutional xenophobia toward female Venezuelan migrants in Peru remains difficult due to racialized contexts (Blouin and Zamora Gómez, 2022). Studies lack longitudinal data on integration barriers (Acosta Gálvez, 2023).
Pandemic-Exacerbated Violence
COVID-19 intensified discrimination against women migrants, but causal links to migration status need clearer models (Valencia Londoño et al., 2021). Regional data gaps hinder cross-country comparisons (Gómez Navarro et al., 2021).
Transnational Family Dynamics
Tracking gender role changes in transmigrant Colombian families requires multisited ethnographies (Ciurlo, 2015; Gonzálvez Torralbo, 2014). Power structures in sexual practices during mobility are underexplored.
