Género y migración internacional de mujeres colombianas a los Estados Unidos: Perspectiva laboral y del trabajo

Abstract

This graduate work seeks to analyze the international migration processes of Colombian women to the United States from a gender perspective, with a focus on labor rights and working conditions in the midst of migration in 2023. For this purpose, three theoretical chapters are established: the first chapter addresses the relationship and influence of gender in international migration processes from a Latin American perspective; the second chapter studies the significance of international migration processes in Colombia from a social, historical and gender context; and the third chapter provides an intersectional and gender approach to how the labor field of Colombian women develops within the migration process to the United States in terms of rights and implications of the same. Subsequently, a fourth chapter is established, which compiles the international migratory experience of a Colombian woman, based on an interview conducted with her; and finally it concludes with the attached account of my personal experience close to international migration and the analysis of how the international migratory process and the work in the midst of it, has affected Colombian women in the United States at the present time.
