Brief: How to mainstream migration into development from a gender perspective

The perspective of gender equality and women's empowerment in migration and development policies is reflected both in the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) and the ILO Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of their Families.

This brief provides guidance on the elaboration of policies, including the effects of migration, on development strategies from gender perspective, and is intended for professionals responsible for implementing diaspora policies in ministries and other central administrative authorities (migration focal points, technical level) concerned by this problem.
