"The mapping of Case Studies were of utmost importance in the understanding of the female migrants' experiences.The E-learning package is useful output. The methodology implemented could be used for further projects. The project helps in the understanding of migrnt women paths, challenges, resilience and empowerment towards integration."
Tjaša Učakar, PhD (Slovenia)
"What I especially credit in this project is the practical aspect of the materials gathered. The VIW project deals with a very complex topic, women in migration, but does that in a precise, concise, very analytical and systematic way, plus it puts tremendous focus on practical usability of the results. The introduction video clearly presents a concrete issue that women in migration face, and does that as a case study of a specific real-life situation that happens every moment on the ground."
Aldana Ratuschny (Spain)
"I believe that the VIW project is of great interest in addressing a problem of great complexity and importance today, such as migrations in the Global North, and within them the feminization of migrations, making visible not only the role of women but acknowledging the specificities of their condition."
