International Female Migrations and Human Rights in European Union Countries
6 February 2025. From 18:30 | Conference | Spanish | IEMed
In today’s globalised world, the number of international displacements is increasing due to diverse causes. International migrations have tripled from the seventies to the present, and 48.1% of migrants are women. Nevertheless, female migrations are made invisible, and women’s agency is often ignored, as well as their heterogeneity and positions in the axes of power-subordination, which locate them in different situations of (dis)advantage.
Starting from these premises, the aim of the conference is to analyse international female migrations from a gender, intersectional, and human rights approach, focusing on the processes of social inclusion/exclusion and current governance policies in six countries of the European Union.
A lecture by Teresa Terrón, associate professor of Theory and History of Education at the University Pablo de Olavide Seville, and president of the Spanish Society of Comparative Education (SEEC). She obtained her PhD on Education Sciences from the University of Sevilla (2006), with the thesis “Educación en el ámbito familiar de hijas e hijos de inmigrantes marroquíes sitos en la provincia de Huelva: estudio comparado con familias marroquíes en su lugar de origen desde la perspectiva de las madres”. Her research focuses on cultural diversity, gender and migrations from a comparative and socio-educational perspective. Terrón is also Director of the Socio-educational Action Research Group (GIAS), and Secretary of the Interdisciplinary Centre of Feminist Studies, Women and Gender (CINEF), both at the Pablo de Olavide University Seville . She has coordinated the European Project “Voices of Immigrant Women” (VIW), and the Project “Procesos migratorios femeninos internacionales en Andalucía. Desafíos y aportaciones para una gobernanza democrática”, cofinanced by the European Union and the Regional Government of Andalusia (Junta de Andalucía).
Within the Aula Mediterrània 2024-2025 series.
