Returning Female Migrants Face More Reintegration Challenges than Men: IOM Study

Press/Media: ResearchPopular

Description

Female migrants returning to their countries of origin had more difficulty than men reintegrating long-term into the community, an International Organization for Migration (IOM) study released today shows.

“So far, little comparative evidence had existed on the reintegration experiences of forced and voluntary returnees, male and female returnees and on the understanding of gender-related issues in reintegration outcomes,” said Sonja Fransen, research project manager of Maastricht University.

“The study specifically aimed at closing these gaps while identifying areas of reintegration support in need of further evidence.”
