This title was first published in 2003. Migration is a phenomenon
which is at the heart of global politics and, within the EU,
governments are continually trying to reinforce their controls of
migration. These controls, designed to increase the security of
European populations may, however, have the adverse effect of
increasing the insecurity of migrants. This is particularly true
for the many women who migrate to Europe and find themselves in
insecure positions because of their lack of independent legal
status, the difficulty of access to adequate health and social
security provision and their particular vulnerability to both
domestic and institutional forms of violence. They are often in
economically weak positions, either unemployed or in badly paid
part-time or domestic jobs with no forms of social protection.
Gender and Insecurity addresses these various forms of insecurity
and details ways in which they might be addressed. Further, it
looks at the ways in which immigrant women have themselves tried to
fight against these insecurities through their own political
mobilisation.
