Introduction

The Module 5 is focused on social-health care of migrant women. Inequalities in access to healthcare and social care services comprise a complex problem faced predominantly by immigrants in all EU Member-States. In terms of healthcare, migrant women are more likely to face unmet medical needs related to various factors such as: lack of access or limited health insurance depending on residence status, type of employment, lack of knowledge on how to access services, financial resources, language barriers etc. Social care play a crucial role in improving quality of life of female migrants as include social security, employment and training services, social housing, child care, long-term care, social assistance services and mental health support.
