Gendered Migration

How does gender affect experiences of migration and communities left behind? In the age of a controversial Nationality and Borders Bill, we ask how current policies interact with gender and find out what happens when a gender lens on migration is ignored. How does gender affect experiences of migration and communities left behind? In the age of a controversial Nationality and Borders Bill, we ask how current policies interact with gender and find out what happens when a gender lens on migration is ignored. To explore these questions, co-hosts Jacqui Broadhead and Rob McNeil discuss one of the most popular pieces of research from the University of Oxford’s Migration Observatory on gender and family migration to the UK. Expert guests Professor Dr. Melissa Siegel (United Nations University - MERIT, Maastricht University) and Alphonsine Kabagabo (Director, Women for Refugee Women) share their research into these issues and experience supporting migrants affected by gender-based violence, leading us to reflect on how gender impacts movement in an ever more connected world.
