“sub-saharan Migration To Italy: A Gender Perspective”

Authors : Arfaoui Maissa .

Abstract

Studies on migration have always focused exclusively on men while often ignoring and disregarding the distinctive experiences of female migrants. This article will try to shed light on this specific group of female migrants by using country case studies drawn from Sub Saharan Africa. It seeks to bring to light the enormous difficulties faced by Sub Saharan African female migrants to Italy. Its ultimate goal is to show how gender interacts with Sub Saharan African migration to Italy in order to influence all processes of these South-to North movements and affect men and women differently.
