"Towards a more humane view of migrant women" - Book review no. 105 - 4th quarter 2016 - Tuíla Botega
Migration flows, whether forced or not, have reached unprecedented levels in recent years, which for many leaders and policymakers is seen as a problem to be solved and controlled. Beyond this perspective, migration can be understood as a strategy that men and women use to deal with adverse situations or adapt to sudden changes in their context (ENGLISH, 2014). Both views have repercussions on the design of migration policies, scientific research on the subject and also on actions to assist and care for people on the move. While the first point of view emphasizes the scenarios of suffering or vulnerability in which migrants find themselves, the second sees displacement as a way for individuals or groups to reaffirm their dignity or deal with adverse political and economic situations.
