Empoderamiento de la mujer migrante: Un análisis crítico a partir del contexto latinoamericano y global

Migration is a global phenomenon that has gained strength in the context of globalization, affecting the economy, politics, social life, families and the migrant population’s countries of origin and host countries. By virtue of the above, the objective of this essay was to analyze the role of migrant women in the Latin American and global context, emphasizing its positive and negative implications for them and their environment. The method used is that of documentary exploration, following the guidelines of the qualitative research paradigm. Among the main findings, it is highlighted that the feminization of migration responds to specific challenges, to conditions of vulnerability that can be aggravated, but also to opportunities for economic and social empowerment. It is concluded that migration is a multidimensional phenomenon that requires attention, specific public policies, the protection of human rights, but also the recognition of migrant women who, through their efforts, become the driving force behind social exchanges
