INSTRAW Library

Welcome to the INSTRAW LIBRARY, a compilation of around 600 publications produced by the former UN International Research and Training Institute for the Advancement of Women (UN-INSTRAW), which served as the leading UN institute devoted to research, training and knowledge management to achieve gender equality and women’s empowerment. INSTRAW, along with DAW, OSAGI and UNIFEM, came together in 2010 to establish the present UN Women.

ID: 2006-R-MIG-DOM-GEN
Reference: Género, migración y desarrollo: mujeres migrantes desde y hacia República Dominicana. (2006 febrero). Encuentros INSTRAW, Nro. 2, 12.
Year: 2006
Description:

Este documento describe en qué sectores las mujeres y hombres se han insertado en diferentes países de migración dominicana, cómo las remesas son utilizadas y gestionadas, y cómo influencian la migración y las remesas en las comunidades. Se concluye que la inserción laboral de las mujeres en destino las empodera a nivel económico, pero que tanto en destino como en origen, las relaciones desiguales de género persisten, en particular en lo relacionado a la toma de decisión y la responsabilidad de los cuidados dentro de los hogares.
