Selv om EU laver oplysningskampagner med plakater og film i forskellige lande i Vestafrika for at advare om, hvor farligt det er at rejse i en gummibåd over Middelhavet eller at krydse Saharaørkenen til fods, er der stadig mennesker, der forsøger at migrerer til Europa.

I denne podcast fortæller seniorforsker Sine Plambech om sin nyeste forskning i kvinders migration. Gæld, graviditet, sexarbejde, trafficking, voldtægt, seksuel vold og abort er en del af hverdagen for kvinder, der migrerer eller flygter.

Migrant women are agents, not only victims

Selling sex in Europe is considered by many women from West Africa as a way to escape from unemployment, precariousness and the vicious circle of debt which traps their families. It is therefore relevant to recognize this migration as labour migration, where women’s agency plays a focal role.
