BRIDGE Cutting Edge Packs Gender and Migration
How does migration advance or impede gender equality? How can policy-makers and practitioners promote gender equality in work on migration? Migration can bring new opportunities for greater gender equality and a better life, for those migrating and those they leave behind. It can have positive impacts on sending and receiving areas. However, migration also brings risks, and may entrench inequalities around gender. This pack hopes to inspire thinking on these questions and to present examples of innovative practice. It is a concise and practical resource consisting of: Overview Report, outlining the main issues and offering recommendations for ways forward; Supporting Resources Collection, with summaries of key texts, case studies and tools, and key organisations; and the Gender and Development In Brief bulletin with three short articles on the theme.
