WIDE Network, the National
Association of Human Resources Specialists (AUR) and KARAT Coalition
are delighted to invite you to the WIDE Annual Conference 2010 ‘Migration in the context of
Globalisation: Women’s Human Rights at Risk?‘
Women today account for almost half of the migrant
population globally. Female migration patterns have changed, with more women
migrating as ´autonomous´ actors - a trend that is called the feminization of
migration. Migration is a gendered process, with gendered modes and paths,
gendered interests and motivations and gendered forms of remittances. Many
women choose to migrate to improve their living conditions (and of those in
their care), as a way to deal with poverty and multiple discriminations.
Government
policies heavily influence patterns of migration and rights for people to
migrate and live as migrants. Policies of the EU and many European governments
are driven by economic and political interests and have the impact of
discriminating against migrants. These policies also combine with trade and
development policies, having together many negative effects on migrant women and
men in Europe and the sustainable development of societies in the Global South.
WIDE Annual
Conference ‘Migration
in the context of Globalisation: Women’s Human Rights at Risk?‘ aims
to create a space for inclusive
and critical dialogues on how, in times of crises, migration, trade, economic
development and globalization impact women’s lives. The gathering will
critically assess the EU policies around migration and will set out
reccommendations that will strengthen the advocacy work of the Civil Society
organisations. WIDE Annual Conference is a place to exchange good experiences,
to gather evidence and theoretical insights on how we can ensure that the
economic, cultural, political and social rights of migrant women are protected.
The WIDE Annual Conference will allow migrant women and other
women from Europe, CIS countries, Latin America, Asia and Africa to come
together, to share experiences and actively learn from each other.
This year´s conference marks the 25th anniversary
of WIDE and will be preceded, on 3 June, by an International Capacity Building
day
