1. New Feature Highlight: State of World Population 2006 - A Passage to
Hope:
Women and International Migration
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The current Development Gateway Population and Reproductive Health
highlight features the State of World Population 2006 report. This year's
report, A Passage to Hope: Women and International Migration,
highlights the diverse experiences of women migrants and emphasizes the need for
migration laws and policies that safeguard the rights of women and
support their needs for health care and other essential services.
According to the report, half of all international migrants - 95
million - are women and girls. Yet, despite substantial contributions to both
their families at home and communities abroad, the needs of migrant
women continue to be overlooked and ignored. The State of World Population
2006 report, examines the scope and breadth of female migration, the
impact of the funds they send home to support families and communities,
and their disproportionate vulnerability to trafficking, exploitation
and abuse. The report reveals that although migrant women contribute
billions of dollars in cash and services, policymakers continue to
disregard both their contributions and their vulnerability - even though female
migrants tend to send a much higher proportion of their lower earnings
back home than their male counterparts. English, Arabic, French,
Russian and Spanish versions of this report are available at:
http://www.unfpa.org/swp/swpmain.htm
In addition, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) has started a
new initiative this year, launching a companion report to State of World
Population, which offers a youth perspective on the main theme. The
companion report, Moving Young, tells the personal stories of 10 young
people whose lives have been shaped by migration. This report is
available in PDF in English, French and Spanish at:
