Exploring the Experiences of Migrant Women at U.S.

Coordinator: Rocío Garrido Muñoz de Arenillas.

Duration: 2024

Summary: CESPYD has been designated to lead the investigation of the project “THE MIGRATORY EXPERIENCE OF WOMEN IN THE US.” The University of Seville (US) has launched this initiative in response to the growing awareness of double discrimination and inequality faced by migrant women, both based on their gender and origin, recognizing the urgency to address this issue.

This project, promoted by the Equality Unit of the University of Seville and funded by the Andalusian Institute for Women, will be carried out by professors Rocío Garrido and Virginia Paloma in the upcoming months. Its main objective is to understand migrant individuals’ lived experience in the university context, with a special focus on women. Additionally, it will explore University of Seville’s cultural competence, risk and protective factors, and actions that can be taken to improve their situation.

The actions will be carried out with the support of extracurricular internship students and internal department students.
