Gender impact in the globalisation migrations: women work and intercultural migrations

The migrations that take place in the context of globalization have to cope with a paradoxical issue: on one hand, the financial capital does not find any obstacles in its expansion, on the other, migratory flows are restricted as never before. These facts determine the circulation of immigrant women by denying the capacity of social agency of their migratory strategies. Despite of it, the current situation presents a chiaroscuro panorama where the situations of exploitation are mixed with the empowerment of immigrants women, inverting their position into the making-decisions process inside the domestic group, the kinship, and the gender relationships. At the same time, the hegemony of receiving countries is consolidated, provoking a "new colonialism" that is based on the trasnationalisation of labour and the reproductive tasks.
