How does migration advance or impede gender equality? How can policy-makers and practitioners promote gender equality in work on migration? This report seeks to answer these questions by looking at both internal and international migration, regular and irregular migration, as well as across the spectrum from forced, such as trafficking, to voluntary migration. It explores the gendered patterns of migration, including how gender impacts on decisions to migrate in terms of who goes and why, and in turn how this affects the benefits and risks of migration for women and men, including impact on gender relations. How levels of development may influence migration decisions and the consequent impact are explored from a gender perspective, including a review of remittances, “brain drain” and HIV/AIDS.
