Venezuelan migrant women: Between old policies and care chains

Abstract

The presence and growth of women in global migration movements is as indisputable as the specificity of this phenomenon. In Venezuela, the growing political and economic instability has negatively impacted their perception, so that in recent years their migration pattern has been reversed. This document presents a brief contextualization of migratory trends, illustrates the approach of female migration when comparing the specific public policies of Ecuador and Venezuela and, finally, contemplates the risks and challenges that Venezuelan women face when joining chains for work care of the region; this with the purpose of analyzing the mobility of Venezuelan women. Among the conclusions is the intersection of inequalities in the imaginary and in power relations, which is why it is necessary to reconfigure them to guarantee our women true inclusion with justice and equity.
