Written by Nurhidayah Hassan, Lucía Tapia Pesquera, Magda Saginashvili and Gea Meijers from Women in Development Europe+ (WIDE+), this paper sheds light on the state of migrant women’s participation in political and democratic life across Europe. The research is based on desktop analysis (including national/Eurostat data) and surveys with specific stakeholders, including migrant women, experts, and decision-makers.
The papers are intended to provide the project partners with a clearer picture of the extent to which migrant women are represented in decision-making at different levels and develop strategies to overcome some of the challenges to participation. They can also be used to inform civil society representatives and decision-makers who are interested to enhance the participation of migrant women.
The study is available in Dutch and English, and the factsheet is available in English. Please see below.
