- Summary
The workshop Empowering migrant women living in the European Union was organised by the European Women's Lobby and Solidar, and was part of a conference "Building Social Policies on Fundamental Rights" organised by the Social Platform in Brussels on the 12th October 2005.
The aim of the workshop was to raise the awareness of the specific situation of migrant women, in particular by emphasising the obstacles and challenges migrant women face in Europe. Why is a gender-specific approach to migration policies important? What aspects does such an approach need to take into account? And how is a gender sensitive approach to migration best put in place?
