Women and International Migration

The United Nations (UN) Population Fund's report titled "Journey to Hope, Women and International Migration" has been published. In the report, which stated that women constitute almost half of all immigrants in the world, it was emphasized that the international community has only just begun to grasp the importance of what immigrant women offer to society.

In the report, although migration promises a more prosperous life for women, it also has dark sides; human trafficking and exploitation of domestic workers were mentioned. The report pointed to the dangers arising from the lack of adequate opportunities for safe and legal migration.

In the report, it is stated that millions of women working abroad send hundreds of millions of dollars to their homes and to their homeland where they migrated. It was stated that he took part in technical and professional specialties, paid taxes, and consented to a quality of life that was despised by many.
