WOMEN MIGRATION

In the topic of migrations is really important have clear the differences between the words because even knowing that those have relations, the meaning are different. The migration is the movement from one place to another in terms of countries and could be forced or voluntary migrations depending on the social, economic and politic situation of the home country and the better situation of the host one. The expatriation consist in a movement that is a decision of the company and one or more of the employees are sending to another country and the overseas is the movement of people looking for new experiences, economic or academic but it has to be on the own decision and responsibility to improve the knowledge’s in other culture.

About women is possible to say that always been an important component of international migration. As of 2000, 49 per cent of all international migrants were women or girls, and the proportion of females among international migrants had reached 51 per cent in more developed regions which are explained by the UN in a survey made in 2004 about the development. The women decision to move has to be much with the culture because they want to leave the places where patriarchal authority tradition and the unpowered situation to have autonomy over the decisions and over the situations still been part of the lives.

In this topic is important take in account that women is a point of interest for the IOM because they had to implant in their life a new role when their family migrate and live theme alone, normally husbands are the responsible of the development of the family, so when they broke up, the woman has to change the way of living and normally start been really alone and without any idea of having any labor, furthermore in a different country.

As a solution for this problem of the women benefits, is possible to see that some countries have been studying new kind of policies where the migrants could be accepted and also the woman could be dignified in salary and social benefits. In china the reform to the economy is already studied to give to the woman a greater participation. For this situation have been really important the intervention of the NGO´s, and the citizens, the schools and the woman themselves because those groups have been making pressure to improve the social policies. As part of the job that the groups interesting in the improvement of the status of the woman migrants is included the effort of the governments to join the international treats and regimes working together between women organizations and the governments to guarantee and protect women equal rights.

With the help of the UN the advancement of the woman position have been realized with the ratification of the convention on the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, committing China to the protection of all citizens’ basic rights. This allow the idea and the decision of been equal between genders and the ratification that the woman in terms of migrations has some people who take care about the topic.
