This one-lesson course addresses the gender dimension of rural migration. Men and women experience migration differently; therefore, to reduce vulnerability and empower rural women migrants and those who remain, it is essential to include gender issues in migration and rural development policies and programs.

This course updates topics associated with women in the migration cycle and the context and understanding of comprehensive actions to address them. The content illustrates different points of analysis, such as the need for gender-sensitive data, understanding risk factors of migrant women, impacts of COVID-19, and links between human mobility with environmental degradation and climate change from a gender perspective.

The overall objective of the course is to strengthen multi-sectoral coordinated quality services to respond to violence against women migrant workers. Specifically, the course aims to build an understanding of the intersectionality of violence against women migrant workers, focusing on the specific needs of women migrant workers, and the risks they face during their migration journey, and to understand key elements in providing essential services to them, based on good practices.
