General Objective

To advance the exchange of experiences and best practices, disseminating knowledge and generating a dialogue aimed at delivering proposals for the attention of women and girls in conditions of mobility, and developing their autonomy and empowerment from a perspective on gender, intersectionality, human rights and inclusion.

Specific Objectives

• To generate a dialogue that allows broadening the knowledge regarding the situation of migrant women and girls in the region, particularly in the context of this pandemic; sharing best practices and experiences regarding the measures taken by countries in order to protect their rights, as well as developing their autonomy.

• To transcend the dominant vision of assistance towards migrant women and girls and begin referring their importance in terms of real (re)integration and substantial equality in the different spheres of life, and not just in the productive fabric, by recognizing their capacity as agents and diverse contributions in the countries of origin, transit, destination and return.

• To encourage an exchange between Member Countries in identifying areas of opportunities in order to strengthen gender-based public policies aimed at migrants, according to the application of the Guidelines for the Attention and Protection of Women in the Context of Migration by each of the Member States and recommendations issued by the working groups.
