The vulnerability to exploitation of women migrant workers in agriculture in the EU: The need for a human rights and gender based approach
2018
This study, commissioned by the European Parliament’s Policy Department for Citizens' Rights and Constitutional Affairs at the request of the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality, explores the working conditions of migrant women in agriculture in the EU, focusing on some case studies in Italy and Spain. In particular, it aims to examine the factors that render women vulnerable to exploitation, paying attention to gendered dynamics and power relations. The study contends that to prevent and combat exploitation in agriculture it is necessary to implement concerted actions aimed at tackling, from a human rights and gender perspective, the structural factors of a socio-economic syste…
Barriers to Sport Participation Faced by Ethiopian and Eritrean Migrant Women in Switzerland
2021
Global migration (both forced and voluntary) has intensified the interaction between existing and emerging cultures. Sport has gained recognition as an effective tool for enhancing migrants’ overall wellbeing, active participation, and social integration. However, a growing number of studies have shown that migrant women have the lowest rate of sport participation, especially in organized clubs. These findings have brought the accessibility and inclusion of existing sport structure and culture in host countries into question. Using the six-factor model of constraints by Tsai and Coleman (1999), this study explored the barriers that hinder Ethiopian and Eritrea migrant women (EEMW) from part…
Vulnerability in Migration: The Applicability of European Recommendations, International Reports and Guidelines to the Italian System of Reception an…
2018
The European Parliament’s Report focuses on the integration processes for a particular category of refugees, considered as belonging to “vulnerable groups”, namely women seeking international protection and female refugees.

The humanitarian response along the routes of the eastern Mediterranean and the western Balkans has set as a priority the introduction of measures to…
Meticciamento regressivo: donne migranti e donne palermitane
2020
Lo studio proposto restringe in campo d’analisi a un quartiere dei più antichi e popolari di Palermo per descrivere e riflettere sull’interpretazione fornita dalle donne migranti provenienti dell’Africa alle discriminazioni di genere subite dai loro conterranei che ne orientano i codici comportamentali. Un aspetto inatteso che costituisce il cuore della ricerca è in ciò che è stato indicato come la fase aurorale di un meticciamento regressivo, e i cui effetti si sono caratterizzati con sfumature diverse proprio attraverso le riflessioni delle donne autoctone che valutavano positivamente i modelli comportamentali e l’agire quotidiano delle donne immigrate appartenenti alle loro cerchie di so…
Servizio sociale e protezione delle donne richiedenti asilo e rifugiate vittime di violenza: valori, prassi e competenze professionali
2021
La rilevanza riconosciuta al tema delle donne rifugiate e della loro protezione, nell’ampia produzione internazionale di documenti ufficiali, report e Linee Guida, testimonia un ampio consenso sulla centralità del tema, affermata già nel 1990 dall’Alto Commissariato delle Nazioni Unite per i Rifugiati. Tanto le indicazioni fornite da vari organismi nazionali e internazionali, quanto diversi report nazionali e internazionali propongono unanimemente non solo l’individuazione di diverse procedure di accoglienza e trattamento, ma anche e soprattutto un serio investimento nella direzione della formazione di operatori in competenze capaci di rispondere adeguatamente alle istanze di questo partico…
