Mexico | Migrant Women In Mobility Contexts
In the initiative “Migrant Women: Border to Border, Your Rights are with You,” Mexico’s INMUJERES emphasizes the importance of collaborating with relevant institutions to implement migration policies that align with national and international commitments. These efforts focus on a humanistic approach to receiving and caring for migrants, particularly girls, adolescents, and women. A new platform has been created to provide accessible resources that synthesize national and international legal frameworks related to migration and human rights, while also promoting available programs and services for migrants.
Recognizing the increasing visibility of women in migration and the unique challenges they face, the platform aims to equip public servants and host communities with the information needed to support migrant women effectively. By delivering timely guidance on migration processes, justice, and healthcare access from a gender perspective, the platform fosters a better understanding of the issues at hand, helping to eliminate discriminatory stereotypes that perpetuate inequalities and violence. This communication strategy emphasizes the need for an intersectional approach to address the diverse experiences of migrant women, aligning with the National Institute of Women’s objectives.
To support these goals, the initiative focuses on designing and distributing digital and audiovisual resources that provide accurate information on human rights, justice, and healthcare for migrant women. These resources, categorized into three areas—diagnostic information for institutional strengthening, promotion of migrant women’s rights, and field projects—aim to empower migrant women and ensure their access to essential services while eliminating all forms of discrimination. By prioritizing the needs of this vulnerable population, the initiative seeks to create a more equitable and supportive environment for women in mobility contexts.
The portfolio contains materials divided into three main areas:
- Quantitative diagnostic information for institutional strengthening.
- Relevant information for the Promotion of Migrant Women’s Rights in Mexico.
- Projects implemented in the field.
