This publication is the third product of the Erasmus + Project entitled Voices of Immigrant Women (Project Number: 2020-1-ES01-KA203-082364). This product is based on a set of policy recommendations that provides practical guidance on intervention proposals to those with political responsibilities in governance on migration management and policies for integration and social inclusion, as well as to policy makers in the governance of training in Higher Education (University) at all levels. This is intended to promote the development of practical strategies that allow overcoming the obstacles encountered by migrant women during the integration process, favoring the construction of institutions, administrations and, ultimately, more inclusive societies. The content presented in this book proposes recommendations and intervention proposals oriented to practice to: - Improve Higher Education study plans by promoting the training of students as future active protagonists who are aware of social interventions. This will promote equity, diversity and the integration of migrant women. - Strengthen cooperation and creation of networks between academic organizations, the third sector and public administrations that are responsible for promoting the integration and inclusion of migrant women. - Promote dialogue and the exchange of knowledge to, firstly, raise awareness of human mobility and gender in Europe and, secondly, promote the participation and social, labor and civic integration of the migrant population. All this is developed through 4 areas in which this book is articulated. The first area entitled "Migrant women needs and successful integration interventions"; the second area entitled "Promoting University students awareness and civic and social responsibility towards migrant women integration"; the third area entitled "Cooperation between Higher Education institutions and third sector"; the fourth and last area, entitled "Inclusive Higher Education".

The lonely crossing of female immigration in Portugal

Publication . Brasil, André Antônio Martins; Martins, Cristina; Moreira, Benilde; Rodrigues, Maria José; Bergano, Sofia

The number of women in migratory flows has increased considerably in recent years. The transformations resulting from this increase generate the need to understand these phenomena from a gender perspective. Considering this general premise, the focus of this article is female immigration in Portugal. Thus, our main objective is to understand how the process of female immigration in Portugal takes place, from its inception, in the face of a sudden break in national ties, to settling in portuguese society and the use of support networks that are satisfactory for the safety, integration and social inclusion. This article presents an analysis of the female immigration process in Portugal based on data collected through the Voices of Immigrant Women project. The methodological approach of this study is quantitative, and the data was collected by a questionnaire addressed exclusively to immigrant women living in Portugal, forming a non-probabilistic snowball sample of 62 immigrant women. According to the results obtained, the majority of the women surveyed indicated that they feel there are not enough personal and institutional solidarity networks that promote the integration and social inclusion of immigrant women. We can therefore conclude that we are dealing with a lonely and somewhat neglected migratory journey in women’s international displacement, which requires specific policies from a gender perspective.
