Research Colloquium “Globalization, Gender and Mobility”

Human mobility and its stakes play a relevant role in the contemporary debate about migration from the political, societal and media perspective. The questionings brought by it, indeed, must be framed on the one hand, within the current issues on the free circulation of populations, capitals, goods and information. Whilst, on the other hand, it is important to debate it taking into consideration the borders closure, the conditioned circulation and the limited mobility, that is to say the securitization of migration flows.

This colloquium will approach the conditions that lead people to migrate (kind of migration, unemployment, violence and conflict), their conditions during the journey (types of material and sexual exploitation) and the ones existing in the country of destination when migrants have to deal with the new reality (legislation, violence and integration processes).

The colloquium is organized by the Euro-Mediterranean Academic and Scientific Network on Women and Gender – RUSEMEG, in collaboration with the Center of Arab Women for Training and Research - CAWTAR, in the framework of the Axis 1 Strenghtening the capacity of the actors working for equality of the project « Women for the future in the Mediterranean », funded by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Development (MAEDI), and the project “Developing Women Empowerment” labelled by the Union for the Mediterranean.

Its objectives are, on the one hand, make accessible to public the results of the university researches made on women and on gender issues. Whilst, on the other hand, they aims to contribute to the researches previously done through the conjoint work between the academia and the fieldwork actors.
