Género y movilidad humana: mujeres migrantes en Italia entre desafíos y oportunidades / Gender and human mobility: migrant women in Italy between challenges and opportunities

The article content is based on findings derived from the research carried out within the international VIW Project (Voices of Immigrant Women), interested in transnational human mobility with a focus on female migrations and gender issues in Europe. While addressing some main categories that emerged from the empirical research conducted with migrant women, special attention is paid to the set of challenges, opportunities and possible solutions that migrant women meet during their migration experience. The article aims to highlight the important role of networks, on the one hand, and of the social inclusion strategies that migrant women put into practice, on the other, in the processes of overcoming the challenges faced and identifying the opportunities offered by the social context in which they find themselves living in emigration.
